Tight Abdomen- is it normal?

[GemLou97]

Hey lovelies,

I’m 8+2 weeks and when I stretch my abdomen and stomach aches like I have done a really good workout but I haven’t done any abdominal exercise at all. This is my first pregnancy so I’m questioning everything and wondering whether it’s normal and what causes it haha! I’m a very curious person and like to know what’s going on and why.

It’s not anything I’m worried about, id just like to know if it’s something that happens in every pregnancy or whether it’s just me haha.

Any ideas at what it might be are appreciated

Gem xx

Sounds like round ligament pain. The pregnancy hormones make your ligaments loosen to allow for your growing tummy but they are not used to being so loose so tend to hurt when you stretch them.
