I think it’s very normal op.

I’m newly 24 weeks and my bump feels very tight at times, but more so after I’ve had my tea in the evening. It can feel uncomfortable but not painful/sore.
I had the same with my 1st pregnancy. My midwife at the time said it is common, she even suggested it could be Braxton hicks that cause it.

@Babyghirl
It’s totally understandable you would feel anxious.

My bump feels very tight in the evening for some reason, like the skin is being really stretched 🤣

If you haven’t already, just mention it to your midwife but from everyone I’ve spoke to, it’s very common, especially in third trimester.

Best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy ❤️

Totally relate to this and am also 28 weeks. Every time I yawn it feels like I could burst! I've started using bump cream twice a day and it's made a big difference.

I'm 25 weeks and feel the same - spoke to my midwife this week about it and she said it's completely normal at this stage, it's just everything growing and stretching!

I'm 27 weeks and I feel very tight too on the bump - defo the stretching of everything. I find it gets tighter after I eat or when I'm bending up and down when I'm tidying
