Found this article about stomach hardening :
The common cause for stomach hardening during the late months of pregnancy is the growing size of the uterus. It has been explained below.
The baby grows in the uterus or the womb of the mother. The uterus is a hollow, pear shaped organ located in the pelvic cavity, between the bladder and rectum. Hardening of the stomach during the 21st week of pregnancy (second trimester) is quite normal, and generally every pregnant woman experiences it. The uterus swells with time as the baby grows to create adequate space for the baby, the position of the uterus during this time is between the belly button and pubic bone. The growing uterus puts pressure on the walls of the stomach resulting in a feeling of hardness. A pregnant woman may experience the symptoms of a hard stomach after the second trimester, because it is during this trimester that the baby's skeleton develops and grows strong. The stomach thus hardens more as the time of delivery nears.

A hard stomach during late trimesters is normal and a result of uterus expansion due to the growth of the baby. But, if the hard stomach is accompanied by severe pain, the guidance of a doctor should be sought. Take care.
