I am 17 weeks. From 13 weeks, the area above my pubic bone hardened, as it should have done.
When I wake up in the morning, my hardened "lump" is about a handspan below my belly button and a bit bigger, but by night time it's back to the hardened "pubic lump."
I have a proper bump now going all the way up to my breastbone, but it's not all baby because it's all soft/springy apart from the hard bits that I mentioned above. I feel like my entire digestive system has been stuffed up there because everything feels very "tight" but is not part of the bump.
I would have expected that what I could feel to be bigger and higher by now?
My uterus is retroverted. Could it be that I am feeling the bottom of it rather than the top, when I feel the hardened pubic lump?
It just doesn't seem to have changed much over the last month, and it should have done. The only thing that has changed has been the increased bloating/tightness if my upper abdomen making me look like I have a full-on bump.
I was very ill after 13th week with fever, so I am naturally nervous that I have done something to stunt growth/cause feral distress/mmc.
Thank you for reading.
