2nd Trimester

Does your stomach feel weird?

I'm 13 and a half weeks pregnant, and lately my stomach kind of hurts.  I don't know if hurt is even the right word.  Its my lower stomach (i'm assuming where my uterus is) and it just feels weird. Kind of just uncomfortable.  Sort of painful but not sharp shooting pains or anything.  I'm not showing yet, and in a way I feel like my stomach just needs to pop!  If that makes any sense!
Does anyone else feel this way?  I'm sure it's just normal pregnancy aches and pains.  Just annoying.

Re: Does your stomach feel weird?

  • I get aches and pains in my stomach ALL the time. Its not a constant pain, but I get little pangs here and there pretty much every day. I think its just your uterus growing and stretching. Maybe it means you will pop soon!

     Rubbing it and sitting/standing up straight seem to help me. Its sometimes worse if I'm sitting hunched over or leaning back on the couch weird, so if it starts bothering me I try not to do that.

  • I get aches if I have been up and active for a while.

    Mainly I just feel like there is a huge inflated balloon in my belly... esp at night when I lay down, it feels like there is a big balloon in there.

  • I've been having this since the beginning. When I asked my doctor about it, she said it was the ligaments stretching (good ole round ligament pain) and the uterus growing AND all your other innards making way for this growing baby. Smile

  • I was just talking to a friend today at work about feeling this way!  It is just your muscles stretching.  At first I was a little worried but she said it is normal.  Mine kinda feels like a bruise that is heeling, that weird soreness.  Hope it doesn't cause to much pain for you and it feels better!

  • I actually went to my dr this am for similar pains.  This is my second baby and I never felt that way with the first.  I honestly thought I was having contractions.  They did a quick u/s and the baby looks great.  RLP can obviously vary a lot from one pregnancy to another.  My pains were very low in my tummy, a lot of tightening and some sharper/pinching pains.  If it comes down to it, my dr said it's much better to call and go in for a quick check up as opposed to worrying about it!

  • I just hit 13 weeks and starting noticing this too.  Not crampy but sort of achey.  I hope it means our babes are growing and going to show themselves soon.
