I'm suspecting I might be pregnant and have heard about some stomach changes. Is there a way to check your stomach for early signs of pregnancy on your own?
There is no reliable stomach check for early pregnancy, dear. You might feel thoda bloated or heavy due to hormones, but the baby is way too small to be felt from the outside. Just take a home kit test, it's very positive and easy!
In the early weeks, your stomach won't show or feel different, except maybe some light cramping which feels like periods. Since I had a C-section later, I realized how much our abdomen goes through, so be very gentle with yourself from the start.
I also feel very shy asking this, but you can't really tell just by touching or checking your stomach in the very early weeks. The only sure way is to wait for your period date and take a simple urine test.
Haha, in early pregnancy my stomach only felt full because I was constantly eating to beat the nausea! You can't feel any baby bump or hardness so early, so don't worry about checking it.
I am in my 2nd trimester now and honestly, in the first few weeks, my stomach just felt bloated like I had too much gas! Did anyone else also feel bloated instead of a hard belly early on?
