How does your belly actually feel from the inside. Tight? big? heavy?

It is a wonderful feeling, you have new life inside of you. The weight can get heavy and your back kills you most of the time. Half of the time when you are throwing up, you pee too....and try do both at the same time. These are just a few...but the end result is more than you could ever imagine. Good Luck..and remember that everyone is different.

Feeling Of Being Pregnant
2016-11-12 21:52:08 · answer #2 · answered by jodie 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
You know how you feel if you really really eat a lot and all the muscles in your stomach are pushed out all the way, it kinda feels like that but even more so. Then you have these wierd little kicks and movements that really don't feel like anything I've ever experienced before. Which is nice because it lets you know your baby's ok, but also pretty uncomfortable at times especially if you get kicked in the cervix, lol. My 22 year old sister keeps asking me about how it feels. Morning sickness sucks, but after that it's not so bad. It's mostly just like being slightly uncomfortable all the time. But, I'm only 6 months along so I'm told that it will get way more uncomfortable later. On the whole it's not as bad as I thought it would be and I'm actually quite enjoying the whole thing. :)

Well first of all not everyone is the same. Truthfully for me I had no pregnancy symptoms. I didn't even know I was pregnant until I started feeling the baby kick. At first I wasn't even sure what it was. It just felt like a little flutter now and again. Then he started to kick a lot more. My whole stomach jumps. Other than that my back has been really hurting because of all the extra weight and I have to go to the bathroom more than I use to.

It sucks at first. You get sick easily, and most of the things you craved when you weren't pregnant you get sick just smelling. It gets better though, your body naturaly gets used to the weight of the baby, its still heavy but not as much as you'd think. Your stomach gets really tight twords the end and you can barely eatbecause the babys squishing your stomach too much also you have to go to the bathroom 24-7 because the babys also sitting on your bladder. Other than that its a realy cool experience Ive had 2 children and Im 6 weeks prego again. Im still going through the morning sickness though :( well I hope some of this helped somewhat. Oh ya if you ever have a child and people keep telling you to have a natural childbirth DONT listen to them, I was going to do it with my first child but I was going through so much pain that I couldn't barely breath and the baby was loosing oxygen. So I would say it would be safer for you and the baby to take the epideral.

Ok- I didn't like or enjoy either of my pregnancies.
Imagine 8 or more lbs of baby and fluid sitting on your bladder, cutting off your circulation, and kicking you in places that should never be kicked. Imagine your intestines being sat on so you can't poop, and when you do poop, it's like clay pellets from your prenatals- no matter how much fiber you take!!!
You can't sleep because your'e so uncomfortable. You can't eat because your stomach is the size of a golf ball and if you eat too much your stomach acid comes roaring up your esophagus.
Tums become your new best friend.
Pregnancy is uncomfortable. The only upside is that a perfect little baby comes from it, and you can have sex with no birth control. Well, at least until about month 6 when your uterus becomes too heavy for sex to be enjoyable at all.

It feels like someone blew you up like a Thanskgiving Day parade balloon. Filled you full of water (pee every 25 mins.) starved you for a week ( hunger) wrapped a belt around your belly and pulled it tight , threw out ALL clothes, rings, towels, anything you used to use and replaced it all with stuff 2-3 sizes smaller. Threw in some nausea, dizziness, puffiness, crying (at any time for any reaon) laughing (for no known reason). Somehow implanted a really large worm in your stomach area, because it just can't be human as much as it squirms. Then they make you question every move you make, dime you spend, thing you eat, person you know etc. etc. etc.. And as a kicker they tell you that at this most stressful time of change you CANNOT: drink alcohol, drink coffee, smoke, relax in a hot tub, jog,or any other activity that you used to do for relaxation or fun. Other than that it really is a blessed event. All jokes aside it really is splendid. I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my third. I can't wait to be done but I enjoy it.

at first its weird, you don't look any different and you haven't gained weight, but there is a pressure in your lower abdomen. as the baby grows you feel more and more pressure, not uncomfortable,just unfamiliar. You will start to feel the baby move, everyone describes it differently. It start as flutter, tickles, ripples, bubbles, etc, in side. Then it starts to feel more like poking, kicking, pushing. You start to get bigger and there is more pressure on you pelvis. By 7-8 months you feel like you are as big as you can get, but you still grow! You tire easier and you get out of breath faster, and the baby moves so much you think he's a gymnast! A few weeks before you deliver the baby will usually drop, where the head is actually in the pelvis. Its a relief because he is lower so you have less heartburn and you can breathe better, but you will start to get little twinges of pain from the cervix getting ready for delivery. You have been having small contractions all throughout pregnancy, but they will get more intense as the last weeks come. All in all its an amazing, wonderful, slightly painful experience

Watch Alien. For an added bonus, watch the part where the queen is being born while your kid kicks you. Fun times!! Its kinda creepy sometimes. Othertimes its sweet cause the baby wiggles around. And by the 8th month its just exhausting, tiring, and annoying. Load a backpack full of books, put it on your chest, then try to walk. Don't get me wrong, I love pregnancy. But only cause my baby is growing in there and will be out eventually. The later stages of pregnancy suck. So does the throwing up at the beginning. The middle is the nicest part. And don't get scared about childbirth. It hurts badly, but you forget most of it the second your baby is handed to you.

I am 23 weeks and at first it kinda hurts cause your skin is stretching out for the baby...Then as you get farther along you can feel the baby moving when you do certain things...It is a wonderfull feeling until the baby starts kicking you really hard and you feel it...It feels like someone is punching you lightly on the inside of your body....Nobody can really explain to you how it feels you just have to get pregnant and feel it yourself.....But if you do wait until you are married or old enough to take care of it....
