At which month does your belly start to get harder and does it start getting bigger and harder under your belly button?

Hi,

During your pregnancy your tummy usually becomes harder during the 3rd month of pregnancy but it can be earlier in some women if its their second pregnancy.

If this is your second pregnancy, you usually show earlier than you did with your first and some first pregnancies are late showing. This is normal.

Yes your tummy can become harder underneath your belly button but it really depends on what position the fetus is in.

Everyone is different when it comes to symptoms, bloating included. For me, I was bloated pretty much all of my first trimester, but around 15-16 weeks it started to get better. Depending on the person, their diet, and lifestyle, they might start to feel relief sooner or later than I did.

Why does your period change dates?

The calendar is a man-made invention, your body has no way of knowing what date it is to know when it 'should' be ovulating or menstruating. When you menstruate is determined by your menstrual cycle, your menstrual cycle may be longer than a month (not to mention different months have a different number of days), menstrual cycles can also vary by up to a week or your cycles can be longer when you're stressed. You determine when your period is due based on your cycle, not the date.

Should you start showing at 11 Weeks pregnant?

There is no "should". It's just different for everyone. If it's your first, generally you show later, because your abdominal muscles are still untraumatized by baby. You show earlier if you are thin. Second and subsequent babies can seem to show MUCH earlier, like by 6 or 8 weeks even. A lot of that is bloating......
