Im around 6 weeks and my lower tummy feels kind of tight and hard sometimes, not all the time. Cant make out if its bloating or actually pregnancy related. Anyone felt this so early?
In very early pregnancy the hardness you feel is usually bloating, not the uterus, my doctor said the belly doesnt really firm up till later. The actual firmness from the growing uterus comes in the second trimester. So early on its mostly gas and bloating.
I kept feeling my lower belly was hard early on and worried something was wrong. Turned out it was just bloating. Did anyone else also keep poking their tummy wondering the same thing?
Early on its bloating that makes it feel hard, not a baby bump yet. Real firmness comes later when the uterus grows up. Dont read too much into it early, its normal.
