Why Does My Pregnant Belly Feel Hard And Heavy?
Generally, you expect a hard stomach when you're pregnant. Your hard-feeling stomach is caused by the pressure of your uterus growing and putting pressure on your abdomen. The hardness of your stomach while pregnant can be more pronounced if you eat a low-fiber diet or drink a lot of carbonated beverages.
Is it normal for your stomach to feel heavy during pregnancy?
If your pregnant belly feels tight and heavy, it's probably completely normal and nothing to worry about. Late in pregnancy, you may also feel sensations of stomach tightening during Braxton Hicks contractions, when your body is practicing for labor.

What does it mean when your baby bump is hard?
When your pregnant belly feels rock hard and firm all over, it's usually because you're having a contraction. This is nothing to worry about. It's normal for the uterine muscles to contract and harden as a practice for true labor. These belly tightenings are called Braxton Hicks contractions.
