Can you feel your stomach stretching in early pregnancy?

Question

Im just 7 weeks and my lower tummy feels kind of pulled and tight, almost like the skin is being stretched. Belly is not even showing yet so im confused why it feels like this so soon. Did anyone else notice this early?

Antara Grover · Answer

Yes, those mild stretching and pulling feelings are normal as the uterus grows, even in early weeks. As long as its mild and no bleeding, dont worry. Strong cramps with bleeding though, call gynac.

Yes mild stretching is normal, the uterus is growing.

Mere saath bhi these little stretchy twinges, especially when I move suddenly. Is that what others felt too? I keep getting anxious over every sensation honestly.

I felt mild pulling and stretching sensations low in my belly quite early, and it worried me at first. Doc said its the uterus and ligaments stretching, totally normal. I felt so relieved hearing that.
