abdominal discomfort? At 6 weeks?

[anj7]

I've been having increasing abdominal discomfort over these last few days. to the point now where my back is even getting sore. My belly is totally sticking out and sore. I didn't experience this with my first 2 babies.

At first I figured bloating, so I've been upping the cranberry juice and water intake. Then I was attributing it to muscle memory, like my belly rememebrs how to be pg, so it's too quickly stretching out...

Is anyone else experiencing this belly soreness/discomfort?

I've been having some. It's worse if I'm lying on my back, like in bed.

I had this a little bit with my first and it has been worse with my second. I am wondering if my ab muscles are just not as in shape this time around and they are stretching/giving up faster than they did the first time around? I am about 4 weeks ahead of you and I look like I did when I was about 16 weeks pregnant last time! I feel huge!

I asked my midwife about it and I told her I feel like I am just really sore and I worked out really hard but I haven't. She said it was totally normal as long as it wasn't accompanied by a lot of cramping.

Thanks! It's easing off now. I was starting to get worried as that night I posted it had been progressively getting worse and worse.

Glad to hear it's 'normal', as normal gets with pg. So weird how ever pg is different, eh?

I am feeling some discomfort on and off. It's not constant, but I find that when I'm having discomfort moving around and drinking lots of water helps!

I walways get period like cramps.

I've been having a lot of period like cramps, but they seem to have eased up over the past day or so, so I'm trying to be relaxed about it and not stress out.

Yes, I'm feeling that way too. I'm hoping it's just normal as well and also drinking lots of water.

I notice more crampyness if my fluid intake is low.
