Swollen sensitive abdomen normal?

June 02, 2008

I am 5 weeks 2days, my abdomen suddenly feels extremly swollen sorta like I'm really bloated and somewhat tender when I touch it is this normal?

hi misty i always got that then i was pregnant (i have 3 kids) i always found it uncomfortable to touch my lower stomach and as for bloating i had that to, so i dont think you need to worry but do see your doctor if you develop cramps or bleeding, even this is normal at times in early pregnancy but always get it checked out if in any doubt, congratulations on your little bundle and good luck x

I am 17 weeks preggo and my stomach is still sore..sometimes i can not stand anything on it..

very normal - its how i know that i am preggo each time. I hate to have any pants touch it even if they are not tight. It goes away usually around the time you begin to get the showing belly - tight tummy. Maybe around 12 -14 weeks or so.

I think it also has a lot to do with all the progesterone in your system - prog slows everything down including digestion.

I was the same way when I was preggo, could not stand anything touching it, especially clothing-went to maternity pants at about 9 wks because of it!

my beta levels arent rising as quickly as they would like so i have to go in again for blood work in the morning and then if thye are good i would have an u/s later in the week and then again a week after that.

What about you misty?
