Tummy changes 11th week of pregnancy!

[mills1990]

Hi ladies! I'm 10+4 my first pregnancy and all is seemingly going very well and I'm so happy & excited. For the past 10 days I've noticed that when I move around, especially tilt back ever so slightly, my stomach looks very different and rather strange! There's solid bulge out of what seems like muscle across my pelvis which is fine but I'm not sure what the little pronounced bump under my already changing belly button is all about 🤭 any ideas?

Obviously will contact my GP if I get concerned but for now it's not causing any issues and I'm just interested by how my body is changing and what's happening! X

Hey, I’ve had something similar and went to the GP last week. I noticed it below my bellybutton when I would sort of tense to get up and then when it appeared above my belly button I really started to panic. She examined me and straight away said it was Diastasis recti which is apparently very common in pregnancy. I noticed mine around 12/13 weeks. It’s just muscles separating where your womb is growing.

Go to your GP if you do have any concerns or want to get it checked out x

Gosh that's so helpful, thank you so so much. I'm more interested than concerned! Thanks again 💕

@mills1990 no worries at all! Our bodies do some strange things in pregnancy 😊 x
