really tight bump?(20/21 weeks)

Does anyone else have this? It's really hard to explain what I mean, but I feel like my belly won't stretch any more from the inside(even though this is dc2, so it has stretched much more).

I feel really good and fit apart from the tight bit over the top-ish part of the bump. It feels better when lying down, but can't do that with a toddler! I was walking in town today and was really slow - my whole body felt capeable of doing a run, but my bump was so tight I could only walk at a smail's pace.

Does anyone else have this? I know I could ask a midwife, but wanted to 'speak' to others before phoning!

My bump goes through phases -- sometimes it feels really tight and strained, but then it relaxes. Lying down definitely helps.

I have this too, but in my case it seems related to trapped wind/constipation (sorry!).
Having a bit of a rest and a nice cup of peppermint tea seem to help settle it all down.
