It sounds like you are normal. When your stomach turns hard that is called Braxton-Hicks contractions. Just a precessor to labor; It is your body getting things ready for bitth day. You are feeling pressure in the pelvic area becasue the babys head it pushing its way down, while stretching out your pelvic bones.
This may go on for a few weeks. Although don't distress.....it just means that your body is preparing itself for the actual labor.
You are experiencing the most amazing thing on the planet- growing a child inside of you and eventually giving birth. Each time it is a major miricle.
Best wishes to you

I think this is just normal, and you have a few weeks of waiting still to do. The baby is quite big now and will be moving around. Sometimes it will choose com,fortable positions for you, and others will be more uncomfortable.
Talk to your doctor or health visitor for reassurance.
