To sign 'tummy,' start by holding your dominant hand flat and open, with your fingers together and your palm facing inward toward your body. Bring your hand down to your abdomen and gently pat your stomach a couple of times. The movement is simple, natural, and directly indicates the body part you are talking about.
Sign 'my', then sign 'tummy' by gently patting your stomach. Finish with the sign for 'hurt' near your abdomen while showing a pained or uncomfortable facial expression.
First, sign 'baby' by cradling your arms. Next, sign 'full', and finally sign 'tummy' by patting your stomach, pairing it with a warm smile.
Point to the person for 'your', sign 'tummy', and then sign 'better'. Remember to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly to indicate you are asking a yes/no question.

Yes, the sign for 'tummy' and 'stomach' are exactly the same. You simply pat your abdomen with a flat hand. The difference in meaning or tone usually comes from the context of your conversation and your facial expressions.
While they are related to the same body part, the sign for 'hungry' is different. 'Hungry' uses a 'C' handshape that moves down the center of your chest, whereas 'tummy' is just patting the stomach area with a flat hand.
No, it does not matter. You can use either your dominant or non-dominant hand to pat your stomach. Most people naturally use their dominant hand for one-handed signs, but whichever feels most comfortable for you is perfectly fine.
