17 weeks pregnant, woke up with hard stomach??? im freaking out?
This morning I woke up and the left side of my stomach felt really tight, so I felt it and it feels hard on the left side! Is that normal? The right side still feels normal. I am showing a little and have been for a few weeks ( this is my first baby).
So why is just the left side hard and not the right side? Is everything ok?? I have my own fetal doppler and I used it to check the heartbeat, it was a good 150. I’m just worried as to why only my left side would be hard?

The baby is probably curled up on your left side.
Your baby is located there. Its Fine.
lol I guess that little girl or guy of yours is making it’s way to the left side. it should stop nothing you should be worrying about and the right side as the baby grows bigger might become hard too. If there is too much pain while it is hard go tell your doc. SHouldn’t be too much of a worry
first of all relax that’s totally normal, your little guy or girl is most likely curled up on that side. my son did the same thing, he moved around a lot even did a few summer salts but always ended up back on my left side, once your further along in the pregnancy your whole belly will be kinda hard but you will still be able to tell where your baby is because that side will still probably be harder.your fine and the baby is fine, sounds like he/she has a good strong heartbeat. oh and in the next few weeks you should feel the baby move, kinda feels like butterflies in your stomach at first then as the pregnancy continues theres no mistaking a little fist of foot pushing at you.relax and good luck, wish you the best and a fast, easy delivery!
That would be the baby curled/balled up on your left side. Happened to me all the time
