3rd Trimester

Tight Tummy!!

Help my tummy is SO tight during the day! It feels like I am gonna just burst! I'm always thirsty for water and drink it A LOT! Has anyone else had any tummy tightening?? It's borderline painful!

Re: Tight Tummy!!

  • Sounds like Braxton Hicks Contractions, I have them too. For me, they've gotten more and more uncomfortable lately.

  • I hear you on that, and almost to the point that I think DD is going to be early just because of how uncomfortable I'm getting. I noticed that if I change positions though, it does seem to get better or even going for a small walk. Another thing that works is soaking in the tub. Otherwise, I feel like Susan Sarandon's character from Aliens. Good luck to you!

  • My tummy gets tight every now and then too. It's never painful just uncomfortable. I found drinking lots and lots of water really helps. I drink at least 10-12 glasses a day on top of milk/juice/soup. The only negative is I feel like I need to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes.

  • I'm getting this too! The last few nights my stomach has gotten so hard. I just wasn't sure if it was BH bc its not really painful just a tightening feeling and sometimes uncomfortable.

    GL ladies!

  • Yes, my stomach feels tight and the skin is stretched painfully far. But in all fairness, I was unknowingly 3 weeks pregnant at the time of surgery this fall where they removed a portion of my stomach area and skin (including muscle) to do reconstruction for a double mastectomy. So I had to stretch back into a normal standing position on top of the normal pregnancy stretching.
