Quick question!

[MissJuly10]

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me popping in.

Just wondered if it was common to feel achey/mild crampy type feelings if you have pressure on your belly? For example, waistbands or even leaning forward?

I have been getting this for about a week and wanted to find out if it was something that others have experienced?

It stops as soon as I lean back or put loose clothing on - I've been living in pyjama bottoms! Feels like I'm squashing something to be honest. My stomach is also heavier and hubby says swollen too. I know it's early and I don't have an actual BFP but just wondering.

Also when I cough/sneeze, my stomach muscles hurt. Could be totally unrelated but as I said, just wondering.

Never had crampy feelings, just felt uncomfortable in jeans etc in the early weeks like bloating but i had and still have pain when i cough and sneeze that feels like im pulling a muscle. midwife said its the ligaments stretching as the womb is growing so i have 2 bracemyself now!! Hope this is it 4 u hun. x

 

[MissJuly10]

Ah right I see thanks hun. Wow, can't believe you're 16 weeks already!

I bought some trousers just before Christmas which fitted perfectly, had lots of room to move and was a tad loose around my stomach and even though everyone's saying I've lost weight etc I put them on for the second time since getting them and they're so snug around my stomach that it's uncomfortable. I tried to shrug it off and say I must have gained a few pounds but the only place my clothes are tight is the lower part of my stomach.

Would have thought it's way too early for that kind of thing anyway??

i know its really flying by! well some ppl start showing right away!! and most ppl r all bloated n puffy at the start aswell. u cud well have lost weight everywhere else and have a bloated tummy, i lost a stone in tri1 but still couldnt do my jeans up! These are all good signs along will all ur OPK's (been keeping an eye on u lol) hopefully u will b getting that BFP soon! x

 

[MissJuly10]

It feels like only last week you got your BFP! Crazy how quickly it's gone!

So pleased it's all going well though hun.

Aw have you? Hehe I haven't done any more OPKs cos I only have 2 left and will be testing on the 3rd, if I can - I'm so nervous!

Thanks for reassuring me, I've been so worried it's the witch but I know when she's creeping up on me and it doesn't feel like she is. I had a little blood yesterday so thought it was AF and even said I was out on here but had nothing since.

Anyone else had this??

I did hun, had them for most of Tri 1 with my uterus expanding and it is perfectly normal, was easily confused thinking AF was constantly coming x

 

[Kay1987]

Only a few more days 2 hang on, fingers crossed! Loads of us have bled in early pregnancy, i bled for 2weeks between 6 and 8 weeks and lots of others have had similar, im sure they will tell u the same! x

 

[MissJuly10]

Aw thanks ladies, it's really reassured me.

Hope my little bean hangs on for a couple more days!! x x

Just uploading a pic of my belly to my journal. Hubby keeps staring at it cos he thinks the shape has changed and reckons I look v. swollen. I think it's weight gain!

Don't worry - I won't mind if you agree with me!
