Crazy question bu...

Hi

Crazy question but is your stomach supposed to go hard when ur pregnant?? All the people I've seen that are pregnant seem to have hard tummys but mine still feels really soft and flabby.
Oh I'm 5 weeks x

Erm no not at 5 weeks! Your uterus is only slightly larger than normal at the moment and still well inside your pelvis.

Thanx I know I sound stupid but its first pregnancy that has made it this far and have a million questions but dont want to tell anyone til we at 12 weeks because of previous pregnancies ending early on x

It'll happen around 14-16 weeks ish (very rough estimate based on my own experiences) but with my son it was very noticeable whereas my daughter and this pregnancy i'm quite squidgy (19 weeks almost) it's only when the baby moves really that i go firm but not for long.

Aw, try not to stress. I know how hard it must be after losses.

No, 5 weeks the embryo has barely implanted.

Believe me, there will be plenty of time to love or hate the stretched skin of a hard bump. Enjoy the stomach whilst it lasts.

Thank you. I really appreciate it. Like I say I have so many questions but don't know who to turn to to ask so when I found this site I was so pleased but pr

At 5 weeks no. My bump only started to become noticeable 16-17 weeks.

I could tell from 13 weeks (but other people wouldn't). There's also variation in firmness. It's firmer overall but when I have Braxton hicks or sometimes when baby moves my bump gets really hard!
