abs hurt like crazy

The centre line of my abdomen hurts like crazy, especially the portion over my belly button. I can feel my muscles stretching tons. It's really bothersome and distracting.

Anyone have ideas for making it hurt less? I can't imagine it getting better between now and delivery day. I don't remember it being this bad this early with DD but maybe I'm just forgetting.

  • I recommend a support band. I use a "minicradle" that I got on Amazon for $15. Also, warm baths. GL!

    I hope to create a real siggy but first I need some sleep!

  • My dr advised me to stand as much as I can. He said that's the only option to take pressure off the ribs The rest is pregnancy so one has to endure it.
  • I'm pretty sure I don't actually have abs anymore  - kudos to those of you that do! Seriously though, my belly has tender spots, not sure it's the same thing. And they seem to move around. Warm bath definitely feels nice, though I'm not sure if it actually helps or is just super relaxing.
