15 weeks very solid abdomen extremely uncomfortable

[chezababy]

So as the title says I'm 15.4 weeks and my lower abdomen is extremely solid. It feels like it's being stretched. It also feels like my bowels are being squashed. It's very uncomfortable and I constantly feel like I need the toilet. Is it baby squashing everything? I don't remember feeling this uncomfortable with my dd.

Maybe your uterus is rising quicker than with your dd that's what mine did, like way quicker! But this is my 3rd although maybe you could be carrying different as well, I have 2 girls and this one is a boy and it is a totally different pregnancy than I've ever had-you could be having a boy or you could just be carrying different

I felt the same way about a week ago but it turned out i was super constipated and when that got resolved I felt soooooooo much better..maybe see if you can take something if ur feeling u need to go to the toilet all the time it might mean that you are compacted?!

Yes it could definitely be carrying differently. This time I have a good bump already whereas I don't have one until 20+ weeks with my daughter.
It's not constipation. I've been going regularly. I have been getting some wind but it's quite easy to tell this is different.

Funny that you said this, I was thinking the exact same thing last night. So uncomfortable! I'm 15 weeks today. I haven't started to show yet. My breasts have gotten bigger and strangely my booty too. Sounds silly, but that was how my grandmother carried her babies until 6 months-then she got a bump!
