I can only do it in the bath Rups, not the shower anymore!

oh well as long it is 'normal'. i spoke to DH and he begged me not to find something new to worry about. lol. i said i was just curious!

Mine goes harder and softer and my 'bump' moves around a bit too, all normal I think. At the moment the hardest / tightest parts are on the sides near my pelvis, but it's been really hard on top too.

Yup, mine goes harder and softer, and sometimes just to one side - in the morning baby particularly likes to be on my left hand side, so I'll have a really hard patch there which is tight and bulgy and the other side is much squidgier. It's nice to feel

weird as mine is hard all round is that makes sense, esp just above the hair line. i was applying soup under the belly and noticed the whole belly starting from under the belly is harder now. i know it is said somewhere that if it is your first baby you dont even show until after 20 weeks, but now ai 17 i am def showing more. Even people have said. i guess everyones different?

I was showing the week of my 12 week scan. Although I was 13+4 on scan date. The day before I was lying in bed and could feel myself growing and stomach was all tight....

I'm the opposite I can't get round the back properly in the bath. I found my legs easier to do in the shower with my leg up on the side of the bath.

I cut my toe nails last week, that was hard work!
