Laying on Belly

[anna matronic]

I can't really feel my uterus (too much podge haha!) and don't think I have a bump, although others totally see it! So I don't really feel much pregnant.

I sleep on my side and last night ended up on my stomach for a second. IT was THE most bizarre feeling ever! It felt like I had put a tennis ball on my belly and was laying on it (except it was under the skin in my belly not outside, but the same kind of feeling) I got a bit scared and moved in case I was squashing it, but couldn't resist again to make sure.

So can someone please tell me, so I feel a teeny bit preggo, is this tennis ball shape I feel when on my stomach my uterus?? Obviously one would hope my uterus is bigger than a tennis ball, but it is the only way I can describe it!!

Really random, but important for someone who doesn't feel pregnant one bit yet xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Im not showing or feeling preg yet either, everyone is different.people say to me one day ill wake up and there will be a big bump.....My last 2 kids i was big by now but dnt worry we will catch up

Yep I'm pretty sure that will be your uterus! Mine started off as a really hard ball too. Try feeling it lying flat on your back in the morning, before you have your morning wee - that's when mine is hardest and most prominent.

Everyone's different so don't worry too much about not feeling bumpy yet - I'm sure it will suddenly spring out of nowhere!!

By the way, I also sleep on my tummy and I asked my m/w if this was dangerous for the baby and she said it's fine, as the placenta protects it, so until it gets uncomfortable for me I'll prob keep doing it, it's a hard habit to break!

In the morning yes my belly is rock hard, and usually harder on one side than the other! I assumed this was baby aswell, but never really sure xx

My belly has been harder as I look down on my right hand side...this is where the scan picked the baby up as being...and yesterday I told my midwife that's where I think it is, and she found the heartbeat there straight away!! My left side feels like all podge..LOL

I sleep half on my side, half on my front...but only if I am on my left side...as if I try it on my right side I can feel a bit of movement, so not too sure baby likes it!!

Lol i tell OH allllllll the time that I feel like i'm sleeping on a grapefruit!!!! So he calls me the princess and the pea now... little does he know that "pea" is getting HUGE and kicks the crap outta me sometimes.... Don't worry about not feeling preggers! I'm a little fluffy too and I don't see a difference at all but everyone else swears they do... and I can't fit into all my pants so thats a sign!

i cant lay on my belly even if i lay slightly to far onto it baby starts kicking me and its uncomfy so the little horrer gets its on way and i end up in the same on my side position all night lolx

 

[anna matronic]

Just cannot wait to feel it properly. It is a slow process for me. I laugh now at how I thought I had a bump at 9 weeks haha xxx

 

[veganmum2be]

yeah that sounds like it.
i haven't been able to sleep on my tummy sinse 8 weeks as it was uncomfy!

I'm also 16w1d and haven't really been sleeping on my stomach probably for the last week or two. It's not painful just odd and uncomfortable. I actually woke up one morning on my stomach and was surprised. I usually lay on my left side, sometimes right but I'm plus size so the side of my thighs starts hurting. I lay part way on my side, part on my stomach but not applying pressure on my stomach b/c it feels weird so I figure it must be b/c of the baby. I'm not really showing either, my friend keeps saying I look preggo but I don't see it myself lol

its your uterus I feel it all the time. I have been feeling my baby kick now and EVERY time i go and turn on my tummy it starts kicking....so it usually gets its way, Im fluffy too But I can feel it and its amazing, sometimes i lay on my tummy just to get it kicking ha ha. my ob/gyn said the baby is fine as well

I am 14 weeks and was fascinated this morning to feel how hard my tummy was and over to the left, couldn't stop stroking it haha, even got oh to poke it which he seems to not like doing, he didn't much during my first pregnancy. Definitely see a difference in this past few days. x
