sudden hardening of tummy

hi mummies, im at 21 weeks now and i realised past two nights when sleeping on my back my tummy will suddenly rise up abit and harden like its being pushed from the inside. is it normal? it will only happen once or twice and thats it. for around 10-20seconds. is that braxton hicks? i thought BH usually happens at lower abdominal only? how come my whole tummy rises and hardened :O

hello, that day I went for my 2nd appt w my gynae and talked about sleeping position. she recommended to sleep on the left side from week 20, it's better for both fetus and mother. not sure about BH cos haven't reached that stage yet. hope u will get some answers from other experienced mothers here. take care.

Hello! It's braxton hicks and perfectly normal! BH occurs usually at the whole belly. Also because baby is shifting position. Contractions happens at the lower belly.

I think baby trying to excercise trying to change position sTand up or something. Very strong baby

Hihi~ Braxton hicks can occur on the entire tummy, lower or upper tummy :)
