A member asked:

When i stand the top of my stomach is hard but the bottom is soft. when i lay down it is all squishy. i have had a period every month. whats going on.

Likely gravity...: ...Seriously, unless i'm missing something in your question, it's the same thing that happens with your breasts (try it--stand up then lay down). Of course, if you have other clues that signal concern, let us hear them so we can advise further. Better still, seek evaluation by a local physician who can examine ; reassure you.
