22 weeks: Baby curled up in a ball

Noticed a hard bump on my tummy, it happens quite frequently like my baby curled up in a ball. It could be at anytime a day, either make a short appearance like 10-15 mins or longer. Usually disappears whenever i touched it (i thought my baby is playing with me) It gets pretty uncomfy too. It started since 15 weeks or so if i remember correctly. Not sure if this is completely normal?

It’s normal, because there’s room for baby to move and exercise.. Do gently touch and talk to ur baby telling him/her mummy is feeling pain/discomfort if you’re at that position.. Baby can understand..

I’m 22 weeks too. I feel the same. It’s uncomfortable but nothing can’t be handled. My heart at ease went baby’s kicking well. I’ll talk to baby and rub tummy then the feeling will be better.

it could be the position that your bb is in. just touch it and speak to your bb. bb will change position itself. speak to your gynea if you still have doubt

Could be braxton hicks
