Feel like your tummy is exploding?

Sometimes I get this feeling like my insides are just exploding out.  Im not sure how to describe this really, but its as if the weight of my belly is just pushing outward and pulling everything with it.  Its a horrible feeling. I can feel my skin and muscles stretching out and my belly gets hard.  Is this normal?  Can bellies really have 'growth spurts' like this?  Thats what I feel like it is, and even DH agreed when he came home that I suddenly looked much bigger.  Silly me, I thought my belly would get big slowly over time, not suddenly one afternoon.  It was so uncomfortable I was crying. I was starving but couldn't really eat because it felt like there was no room in there!

    Not to be a total Debby Downer, but... you'll probably feel like that a lot in coming months. It's getting really cramped in there! I feel the same way and I have no idea how I have room in there for 3 more months of growth, and I've done this twice before! Hang in there. When it's over you mostly remember the good parts.

    Is it supposed to hurt?  Or should I be more worried about that part?  I can take that things are stretching, but this just feels nuts.  uggg.

    I get that feeling at least once or twice a week.  It scared me at first but everyone told me that it is normal.  The tight, crampy and big stomach also keeps my eating under control too because I hate even the look of food when I am feeling this way. 

     Comes with the territory honey.  Don't worry.

    I have felt that. I tend to be very tired and not hungry on the days my stomach feels like this. I have been blaming it on the baby growing and everything moving. I hurt sometimes but usually it just feels like round ligament pain. Sometimes I think Im bigger overnight. funny how fast our bellies can grow!

    I had it happen to me on Saturday evening...I was curled up in a ball in bed almost in tears cause it hurt so bad. The next morning both my husband and I noticed that my stomach was bigger. It just baby growing and our stomachs expanding to make room!

    Also-it is a possibility that you are constipated?
