How does your tummy feel?

[hopefulmum2014]

I am 10+2 and my belly feels fat/bloated, I am usually a size 10 but it is noticeably sticking out all the time now and has been like it since about 9 weeks. During the weeks before it was very bloated but mainly at night time. I feel uncomfortable in my clothes but I know its way too early to show.

Does anyone else feel similar? I don't know if its forming bump or I am getting fat, I haven't eaten much more than usual I don't think. I do usually suffer from bloating anyway.

As this is my first I am not sure what to expect xxx

i am only about 6 weeks and i feel very 'full' and bloated, its uncomfortable to lay on my stomach or side also.

I'm almost 7 weeks and I feel exactly the same - I usually have a very flat stomach but have a permanent little bloat bump that gets bigger and bigger during the course of the day. By the end of the day I look about 6 months!!!

Thanks ladies, makes me feel better.

It just feels big and I think its because its normally not big, I have had a few complications so I cant help analysing everything wondering if its normal or not.

Sounds like you ladies will be the same as me then, I have been bloated since very early on but the last week its seems like it all day, whereas before it would be better in the morning then worst after I had eaten. Now it feels constantly big, I am not complaining though as long as its all OK xxxxx

I remember that feeling from last time. I'm not there yet, only got my BFP last week - but yes I can identify. Bloated and "windy" lol..

I don't have a bump at 9+4 but my waist is certainly 'thicker' and more solid. I've been taking photos from the side view since week 5 and I was really slim, now I can only describe it as having 'thickened' out...

I do feel like I'm eating more though - I'm hungry a lot and bread (which I didn't eat much of before) helps keep the sicky feeling at bay so I seem to be eating tons of it.

My first bub too and I'm half excited to have a bump, half nervous to lose my figure and control of how my body looks.... Eek!

I think at the early stages it's just excessive bloating, I think from what I have read it's very uncommon to have a bump before 12 weeks. My stomach was definitely bloated and quite hard to touch, so definitely a kind of pre-bump in the earlier weeks! I'm convinced that part's a real thing. x

I am 10 weeks too and I always check my belly after my morning pee and it's flat but during the day it gets bigger. I definitely feel full and now carrying my daughter and putting her to bed etc I have to be careful bc I feel cramps with her squashing my belly. I love to lay down flat in bed and feel just above my public bone you can feel the hard uterus and it's amazing to feel it grow

I feel huge and I’m only going on to 5 weeks with my third.. I’m very bloated and I can’t stop “ popping !!”! I feel like I can feel stretching - now I know there’s not a huge baby I. There but I do know that my body is getting ready !

The I’m so windy tho ��������

I start out my day with a flat stomach (although I now have the tiniest bump!) and by the time I go to bed I look 6 months pregnant! It's hilarious and super uncomfortable and annoying at the same time. I don't know what to do about the bloating.

I got really excessive bloating, which worsened throughout the day, at around 5/6 weeks. It was painful and woke me up in the night...along with the 'wind'. Delightful! Less bloated now, but my waist is definitely thickening out and my tummy looks softer. I haven't been doing much exercise as I've been so knackered, and was suffering with endo prior to BFP which got in the way of my exercise routine too. So didn't go into pregnancy feeling my best, body wise.

im also getting like a stitch feeling in my lower stomach and also upper left, not so much a cramping.

Hope its normal - trying not to google!

Oooh I have this from time to time too, except it's on my upper right side. I felt it during implantation as well. I think it's a perfectly natural and good sign that things are happening, so I definitely wouldn't worry about it
