7 weeks and upper part of tummy hard

[LEXIANN21]

I'm 7w1d and the upper part of my tummy is hard. My tummy is sticking out (even in the mornings). I know its not baby but i'm thinking its some sort of protection shield or something. I'm already in maternity clothes too. This is my second baby and I'm a bigger girl but I carry my weigh well and didn't have an overly huge gut or anything before the pregnancy. Anyway, is this happening to anyone else?

I also had major bloating and a hard tummy at 7 weeks, the bloating is going down a little and starting to feel more comfortable. I also was in maternity pants at 7 weeks lol

I only seem to get the hardness around where my belly button is. It's much harder when I stand up though.

It is usually bloat this early on but how cute don't worry your bump will be present in no time

I always "get pregnant up top" before anywhere else. I know it sounds crazy, but it is very normal. I think that when you find out you're pregnant it just hits you and everything starts to feel and look different. I showed rather early this time, too, and you could definately tell I was pregnant by 16wks..maybe it will even out here soon for you.

ohh and the books say hardness in early pregnancy might be poop retention, so if ur not going too well thats a sign ur backing up quite alot. Try get it out. Xx

Yea that is what I figured it was all bloat, its just so weird though, lol, hard as a rock!!! Oh and the morning sickness is now officially kicking my a$$!!
