i can't tell if it's my back muscles causing my stomach muscles to be tight or just a huge amount of gas. either way, my stomach feels like it's going to split open right now. so uncomfortable i haven't any idea what to do about it nor do i know if it's normal to feel this way. anyone???

Yep.  I feel this way after I eat a moderately sized meal.  And usually more so toward the end of the day.  My bump is considerably smaller upon waking - it seems to get huge and uncomfortable by the end of the day.

How long does the tight feeling last?  At around 21 weeks, I started experiencing my first Braxton Hicks and had no clue what they were.  My stomach would get really tight for like 30-60 seconds at a time.  Not sure if you are having the same feelings or if it's more constant.

Mine also gets tighter by the end of the day, and especially if I have eaten a big meal.

i wake up feeling "normal" , then depending on my diet i bloat & feel tight. like now. ?i think it's more likely to be my gluten issues and (uhg!) gas :}

Oh yes ma'am I hear you. I could be so hungry and eat an entire meal and afterwards I am paying for it. I'm nearly 17 weeks along and I can feel my stomach has moved upwards already and feel full so much sooner than before I was pregnant.

 The only thing I know to do is eat smaller meals. The Microwave mac and cheese cups are awesome. It's not too much food and it's enough to get me something to eat and curb my appetite.
