When a pregnant woman starts to show, it's not fat; it's an expanded uterus (which is muscle) so the belly would be harder.
Bloating is common in early pregnancy. The prickly/pinching feelings are probably round ligament stretching. I always used to get a sharp pains whenever I sneezed or laughed too hard as well.

As others have said, the tummy would be hard (unless she started out with a little "extra around the waist").
I also had the prickly feeling, that's probably the skin stretching.
