Hard Abdomen During Pregnancy: Causes & What to Expect (Triplets)


Question
I'm 33 weeks pregnant with triplets. my belly gets very hard, so hard is even difficult to lean forward. It does not hurt. it stays that way for hours even more than six hours! What is it? Can it be a contraction lasting hours?
Thanks  

Answer
TRIPLETS! WOW!  That is amazing, I wish you luck. I suspect one of two things.
1. These are Braxton Hicks contractions back to back, Braxton Hicks in case you do not know are sort of practice contractions, they do not hurt but they can be uncompfortable.
2. It may simply be the babies pushing in a way to make your belly hard, they have got to be short on room in there.
Good luck and Congrats!
