What month does your stomach get hard during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is a magical time for women, except when it’s not. Growing another human inside you is no easy feat, and one of the many changes that come with pregnancy is a hardening stomach. So what month does your stomach get hard during pregnancy? We’ve got all the answers (and jokes) you need.

The Beginning: First Trimester

In the first trimester, your body begins to go through significant changes as hormones run rampant. You may experience morning sickness, fatigue, and mood swings. But when does your stomach start to feel harder? Well, brace yourself, because things are about to get weird.

Week Four: Tiny but Mighty

At four weeks pregnant, your baby has just begun forming! It’s hard to believe that something so small will eventually grow into a bouncing bundle of joy – but right now they’re only about the size of a poppy seed! Don’t expect any hardness in your belly quite yet.

Week Twelve: Baby Steps

By week twelve, most women have finished their first trimester and are breathing sighs of relief (while still running to the bathroom every five minutes). Some may begin feeling like their abdomen feels firmer around this time – though it could be bloating from relentless nausea rather than an actual baby bump.

Second Trimester: Things Start Getting Real

The second trimester brings some respite from early symptoms such as vomiting– hallelujah– and also marks the beginning of some exciting developments in those expecting nature mamas out there!

Month Five: Bump Buddies

Around months four or five of pregnancy (depending on how much ice cream you’ve been consuming) family members/strangers/random people on Instagram might finally begin noticing that extra layer under your shirt starting to appear more universally rounded.

By month five, you can start to see an obvious baby bump and with it comes a slight pressurized hard feeling in the abdominal area.

Month Six: Stronger & Suddenly Massive

Month six brings with it stronger noticeable movements from your lil passenger that aren’t just happening inside anymore.
Making deposits into monthly maternity wear purchases?! Is now probably wise as not only is there more movement taking place but at this point baby is growing faster and so will mama’s waistline!

Third Trimester: Almost There

The third trimester can be both exciting and daunting! With just a few months until the big day, many women begin to feel antsy for their little one’s arrival. One thing they don’t anticipate though is:

The Growth Spurt

It almost seems counterintuitive given how massive and uncomfortable they already may seem but during weeks thirty-one through thirty-four(ish) some fetuses have been known to put on quithe/ite growth spurt.

At this point mamas-to-be might feel like they are carrying around giant football rather than a tiny human which may also result in extra super hardness around belly circumference areas.

Conclusion

So there you have it folks; “What month does your stomach get hard during pregnancy?” Hardness begins later than originally thought – which I’m sure all expectant mothers are thrilled about… But hey! By the time things do start getting harder its signifying some beautiful new changes rooted in natural growth that’ll produce what we all know will be the greatest creation of them all:)
