This is my first time so everything is new. Some days my tummy feels tight, some days bloated and heavy, im not sure what is normal in early weeks. Can you all share how your stomach felt, especially in the beginning?
I used to panic at every little twinge in my stomach, googled everything. Most of it was just gas and stretching honestly. But if you ever feel sharp constant pain or bleeding, dont wait, call your gynac.
It feels different for everyone and even changes week to week, so dont worry if yours doesnt match a friend's. Mild fullness, gas, little pulls are all common. Just keep your doctor in loop for the routine checks.
In the early weeks I felt this weird heaviness and bloating, like always full even when I hadnt eaten. Some days mild cramping too which scared me but doc said its normal stretching. It changes every few weeks honestly.
Early on its mostly bloating and gas, feels like periods are coming. Later you feel the baby fluttering, then proper kicks. Each trimester is a totally different feeling, dont compare with others too much.
For me first trimester my stomach felt constantly queasy and unsettled, like a permanent travel sickness. Small frequent meals helped a lot. By 2nd trimester it calmed down and the heaviness took over instead.
I'm in my 5th month and my stomach feels tight and kind of pulling on the sides, anyone else felt this? Some nights it's gassy and uncomfortable. It comes and goes for me.
