Can anyone else feel their tummy stretching?

[5DollarShake]

Owwwww!!

I have had this on and off throughout the 3rd tri, and it is really bad at the moment (I am 37+4). I can actually feel the skin on my tummy stretching and it really hurts!

I didn't experience this with DS1 - and didn't get stretch marks with him either - this time around, I have dreadful stretch marks and this pain as well. [crybaby emoticon] I'm slathering the bio oil on, but it really doesn't make any difference.

Just wondered if anyone else was experiencing it?

Not yet (21w), but at 36w+ with my DS, I could see stretch marks appearing before my eyes - it was horrendous!! I am covered in them now, but hey, c'est la vie!

Not really painful as such, but the skin on my tummy has started to get so sensitive, even the feel of my clothes brushing against it is really uncomfortable. I'm assuming this is to do with the skin stretching, didn't get it in my last pg that I remember so don't know if it will get worse! Am 28 weeks now.

I do feel my tummy stretching it happenedin the last 2 weeks im 37 weeks and think argh ive still for 3 to go at least lol

Yes, the last few weeks I definitely felt my tummy stretching. It was an awful feeling.

yes my skin actually feels like its going to rip open it feels so bad, havent got any stretch marks though I;ve been using body shop cocoa butter.

Yes. I'm 35 weeks and like you no stretch marks with first baby almost 5 years ago.

Funny thing is - the stretch marks are at the bottom of my bump and last night's pain was at the top.

Very sensitive right across the middle as well.

I really thought the Clarins Oil did the trick the last time but I guess not as I'm slathering it on.

Yes! I have been feeling very stretched today! Very uncomfortable. May be because I've been camping this weekend and forgot to take the cream my DH puts on my bump usually.
