Is your belly tender after you press on it?

Beginning in the 3rd trimester, I could start feeling the baby's body parts more if I poked around on my belly.  It doesn't hurt me, but then later my belly feels tender, almost like it's bruised.  

Yesterday, my midwife was feeling for the baby and was pressing pretty hard.  My belly felt SO sore in those specific spots for the rest of the day until I went to bed. Even light touch was painful.  Is this normal?

Totally normal. Just chalk it up to another fun side effect of pregnancy.

Yeah, I seem to remember this from last time.

Bummer but glad to know it's normal. Thanks!
