It all hurts

I am 19 weeks and am finding that my bump area is really sore a lot of the time. It hurts when I walk, when I sit, when I poo (tmi!). It feels like muscle type pain and not anything too sinister but is this normal!? Could it be because I am larger and have extra weight on my tummy? I do carry all my weight there.....

My bump hurts when I poo too, I have to hold it... may be normal? No idea.
Mine aches a LOT, but apparently pregnancy hurts. Not that anyone tells you that beforehand!
I am 21 weeks and for the last week my nipples have been leaking. Noone told me about that either!

I'm 26 weeks and my experience, especially in the last 3 weeks, has been that pregnancy hurts. A lot. In fact, I think it's the worlds best kept secret!

I think it's all the ligaments around your bump stretching and dealing with the increased load.

I'm 24 weeks and have been getting sore muscle pains on my bump. I am carrying forward and already have quite severe diastasis recti, so I think it's just something I have to put up with for the next few months Sad

Yup, it hurts! 25 week here and been getting definite bump pain, and yes, it hurts to even wee sometimes!
