Hard tummy

Hi everyone, I've had a hard belly for 3 days straight, from the moment I go to bed until I wake up. It just stays hard (and I don't do much during the day). It doesn't really hurt, just a little bit in the morning. Besides that, I've had some Braxton Hicks contractions. The baby is moving, he's a bit calmer but I still feel him. By the way, I'm now 38 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Is this normal, is it the beginning or should I start worrying? I have a check-up tomorrow, but I thought maybe someone here already has some advice? Love, Manon

    Hi Manon,
    Don't worry too much about it, this is all normal.
    It's just that your body is preparing for the birth. And if you don't feel confident, just call your midwife. And as you said yourself, you still feel the baby well, just a bit less, but that's logical because the space is getting more limited at the end of your pregnancy.
    Just let everything happen and enjoy your belly a little longer, because soon you'll have a little miracle in your arms.

    Good luck and have a nice day
