Can you feel heavy in early pregnancy?

Question

I just got my positive few days back and already my lower belly feels so heavy and full, like before periods but stronger. Its way too early to show na so im confused why it feels like this. is this a thing in the beginning?

Totally normal. Hormones slow your digestion so you feel heavy and gassy even before the bump shows. Eat smaller meals and drink water, it helps a lot.

Omg yes i felt so heavy and bloated in my early weeks, like my tummy was full all the time. Did anyone else feel this so soon? I kept thinking its too early to show but it was just bloating apparently.

Yes dear, feeling heavy early on is common, the body changes start very soon. Nothing to worry about. Just listen to your body and rest when it asks.

Haan na, early days mein bhaari bhaari sa lagta hai pet. Mere saath bhi aisa hua tha. Bloating hoti hai bahut, normal baat hai.

Haan that heavy feeling was real for me too in the beginning. It was mostly bloating and tiredness. Resting and eating light made it easier for me.
