Stomach firmness??

[Rockinmomtobe]

More of a curiosity than anything else, but Id like your opinions:

Im 19 weeks, on the heavier side (180 pre-pregnancy) and feel like just in the past week or so, my stomachs popped out and stayed, whereas before the bloat would come and go.

So here's my question I guess.....I read that by now my uterus has stretched up to my navel and baby is the size of a tomato or a mango (so not terribly big, but not small either) Im wondering why my stomach is hard above my belly button as well...am I still bloated, is it because Im heavier? Just curious and making sure its not super abnormal...thanks ladies

Im guessing because all the other organs are getting pushed up to make room for baby? x

haha, nope. This is my first. I popped out on the bottom quickly around 12 weeks (the doctor said it was the position of the baby) and now I look 7 months pregnant!

Wish I could help. I'm still all jiggles, and I'm not even a big lady. All bloat, barely any baby. I'd say its because everything is getting shoved upward.

This is my guess too! It's only the last week or two that my bottom half was bigger than my top! I must have big intestines....

Foxy- sorry this is off topic, but looks like u and I are both 18wks+4.

Is your due date the 8th too?

I would say it's just from bub getting bigger and everything else being pushed up.

Well, I typically have all my weight on my stomach, so I'm assuming my upper-bump is all the fat that was where my uterus is now! There's still a slight indentation at my belly button so I have a B-shaped bump for now. I'm assuming in a couple of weeks, that will have disappeared.
