I have never in my life touched or felt a pregnant belly before. I have always wanted to since i can remember. I was wondering what they feel like? i noticed that their bellies get hard later in the pregnancy. when does it start getting hard? I am so curious about it and its a tragedy that i have yet to meet, talk to, or feel a pregnant womans belly.

I think the "hardness" factor has just as much to do with the physique of the girl than anything else. If she is in really good shape with little to no belly fat, the belly will be hard to begin with.
The belly does indeed get very hard towards the end, especially if the girl is thin. The skin is generally pretty soft, although I have never touched a belly with heavy stretch marks. It is really a great thing to touch, and if you can feel the baby inside, that is a bonus. Feeling the baby move is amazing!
I hope you get the opportunity to rub a bare pregnant belly someday, my friend! Good luck!

A third trimester belly is going to be quite firm to the touch. Their body type will determine how much "cushion" there is but even a woman 20-30 pounds overweight for her height will have a fairly firm belly. Even skinny women's bellies will still be a little soft, though, i.e. if you poked it firmly then your finger might sink in 1/4 inch or so. (This is not the case during Braxton Hicks contractions, though; on a very slender woman a contraction can make her belly hard as a rock.)

When a belly starts to get firm really depends on her build and how she grows. Even during the first trimester if you push hard enough you can feel the uterus 1-2 inches underneath the skin. As the pregnancy progresses and the uterus grows it gets closer to the surface as her skin stretches thinner. I'd say by 20-25 weeks the average woman's belly will be pretty firm.

I personally prefer feeling pregnant bellies through tight shirts. You get the simultaneous hardness and softness of the belly with the bonus of the stretched material of the shirt. Beats rubbing a bare belly, IMO.

My mom let me feel her bare pregnant belly a few times and her skin was very warm and smooth.

Imagine holding a watermelon on your stomach, only a little softer and warmer.

Can we talk about that? I've never felt one before either.

Watermelon isn't a bad comparison. Stretch a shirt over one and it feels pretty much the same as a skinny girl's belly except the belly will have just the slightest amount of give. The firmness of the belly will obviously soften as the girl's weight increases.

Personally I thought it felt like one of those cheap stuffed animals from a fair or amusement part. The kind that have the newspapery stuff in them. It was tight but still soft enough to give a little bit when pressed on.

It has been a while, but some of the bellies I've touched over the years have been super soft, while some of the others I've touched have been hard as a rock. I have felt some less-than-13-week bumps, and I've felt some 40-week bumps. I've even been lucky enough to get to feel movement on a bare, 38-week belly. I can safely say that it is the coolest experience you can ever have, and I'd love to experience it again. I'd also like to be lucky enough to feel a transman's (FTM's) baby bump, as well as the bump of someone who's having triplets or even more babies at once, Chances are, though, I might not get to touch those two "dream bumps", but I can say that it's awesome if you get to feel one!

So imagine when you eat so much your stomach is distended the firmness is similar to that. Full but not hard, with some give. When I have a Braxton Hicks(BH) My entire stomach feels tight and a bit harder.
When just random portions of the stomach are firm it's not a BH and is most likely baby pressed close to the surface.

So, the normal belly is like you ate too much, feeling the baby under the belly is comparable to touching Idk, a knee with slightly more cushion, and a belly thats in the middle of a braxton hicks contraction is like touching a flexed muscle.

Also, kicks feel like a muscle twitch.

Whoa, I never thought of it that way! That's amazing! Smile
