Heavy and hard tummy every time I get up

[Susanne]

This happens literally every time I get up from a sitting or lying position: my tummy goes rock hard and I feel really heavy down below. I've chosen to assume it is normal until now, but am beginning to feel a bit uneasy about it now. Anybody else have this?

I have this a lot too, must be those stomach muscles my dear. Honestly sometimes I think my stomach is so tight and pressurised that it might explode from the inside out!!

I get this as well..... worst when I get off the train in the evenings. Honestly feels like the baby is going to drop out of me lol

I get this too, especially in the mornings after waking up my stomach is really hard and as you said a lot of pressure down below.

That's what I've been thinking, but aren't they meant to come and go? This literally starts as soon as I stand up and doesn't go away until I sit down again, no matter how long this may be. Could it still be only Braxton Hicks?
