Good morning

Earl&Tiffany · October 2011

I am sixteen weeks and have been feeling a lot of abdominal tenderness, so I took the day off yesterday for some rest and feel much better. However whereas two days ago my belly was tight and firm, its now really soft and seems smaller. This is our first and I wanted to see if this is normal at all. We have an appointment coming up this week, but the concern is driving me crazy.

Thank you

Hi, I'm no doctor,but I do think that some abdominal tenderness is definitely normal as are changes in your midsection. It could be that where you were maintaining your prepregnancy frame, your body is simply changing due to being pregnant. I noticed back in the 1st trimester that my midsection was one of the first things to change regardless of the fact that I hadn't put on any weight at the time and working out everyday. It went soft and before I started showing, I just look like I'd been eating too much. Even now, my belly doesn't look the exact same everyday. Remember, we bloat more easily and some days, depending on what we've eaten, we could look bigger than others. One thing I have noticed about being KU, is that there is something new to "look forward" to bodywise all the time. Your body is going to change and it doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong. It doesn't sound as if you have anything to worry about, but I know it's hard to not worry. With almost every change I have, I freak out thinking something is going wrong with the LO. Worry is a natural part of the process. I think you're OK, but you definitely want to tell your OB about anything that seems different he/she will know better than all of us. GL
