Uncomfortable

lcschap

I'm a FTM and at 14w4d I'm already SO uncomfortable. Can't sleep because I SWEAR I feel a huge bulge around where the baby should be and I feel bad sleeping on it even though my doctor said its okay for now. Also, people are literally SHOCKED at how much I am starting to show already (had a pretty flat stomach before the crazy about 9 week bloat), tbh so am I. Its really like everything is already being pushed up. Starting to feel short of breath because of it and struggling with constantly feeling full and so gassy. Is this normal? Could something be wrong that is causing me too grow too quickly? (Excess fluids, etc.?)

Perfectly normal. Try a body pillow for sleeping.

Normal. Best get used to it cause you got a long ways to go.

P.s. Concerns about excess fluids and the like, should be discussed with a doctor. Really this whole thing is better off being discussed with your doctor if your concerned.

Its absolutely normal.

Completely normal, invest in a snoogle or some other type of body pillow. If you feel uncomfortable now, wait till the 3rd trimester. That's a real treat!

Totally normal but it's only going to get worse as time goes on. Like other posters have said , a good body pillow will help. I've had one since 14 weeks and it's been a life saver so far and I'm 25 weeks .

I was gassy around that time too it stopped about my 17th week and out of breath since my first trimester. I normally have no problem going to sleep if I'm in bed alone but once my husband joins me urghhhh then I wake up in pain. Maybe trying to kick your husband or boyfriend off the bed might do you some good or just get lots of pillows I have like 4 regular sized ones and a body pillow a bit excessive but much needed. Also you might want to try different areas of the bed lately I'm more comfortable on my husband's side then on my own.
