Im just 8 weeks and my lower pet feels kind of tight and hard sometimes. Bit confused because i thought belly stays soft this early. Is this normal yaar or should i worry?
My doctor explained that progesterone rises rapidly in early pregnancy, which slows down digestion and causes severe gas and bloating, making the stomach feel hard. It's usually normal, but if there's pain, you must inform them.
Any unusual hardness or cramping in early pregnancy should not be ignored. I had complications earlier, so I highly recommend calling your doctor to get it checked out just to be absolutely safe.
I felt this bloating and hardness early on, which my doctor said is due to hormones. Since I had thyroid issues, I was anyway visiting my gynac regularly. Please check with your doctor to rule out any concerns.
I had a similar feeling in my first trimester. Once my doctor confirmed it was just gas and allowed me, I started doing 15 minutes of light evening walks which really helped ease the bloating.
Arre, I panicked so much thinking my uterus was hardening! But my doctor told me it's just normal bloating because of progesterone. Relax, it goes away as the weeks pass.
Beta, drink a little warm water with fennel seeds (saunf) after meals to ease digestion. If the hardness doesn't go away or if you feel any discomfort, ask your doctor.
