ouch! help my belly feels horrible

[kate1984]

I dont know whether this is normal or not and im expecting my 4th baby so feel a bit of a idiot asking this.

My tummy muscles feel torn and ripped. my belly feels like jelly inside and like ive somebody has beat me up and kicked me in the belly repeatedly

I know i have popped quite a bit this week as when i went for a carvery the server asked if i was having a elephant and laughed when i said i was only just coming to 4 months gone.

anyhoo..... what the hell the happening to my belly. im 16 weeks tomorow. please tell me this is normal.

Sounds like your Recti Muscles have seperated. You will probably need physio after the baby is born. Try using a belly support now which will help hold it all in too. Mention it to your midwife next visit she may refer you to physio antenatally!

On the up side at least yours have held out till 4th baby, mine are already on the way out and its my first!
