I'm 18 weeks pregnant and since my tummy is still growing it is hurting a little bit. Is there anything I can do for this to make it feel better?

Is it hurting after you eat, or all the time?
After you eat: try eating small meals, and snack. Try to stay away from gas causing food ie:beans. Also try :TUMS
After quick movement: try moving slower, ligament stretching pains are still pains.
All the time: try bigger or looser pants. I have been folding down the panel, so nothing is pn the belly, it feels much better.

Try slathering cocoa butter oil on your belly right after a warm bath. You will absorb more of the oil wile your skin is still moist and your skin will stay softer longer. I use "palmers" cocoa butter oil and I also use stretch mark cream by the same company....This doesn't really "stop" the uncomfortable feeling, but makes it more bearable.

I would try taking a warm bath. It always relaxed me and helps with some of my aches and pains. Maybe take a tylenol for pain? even though they dont work well. Or maybe a heating pad on low heat on the spot where it hurts the most. Hope this helps and hope you feel better.

Not really...it is the skin stretching, so pretty much the only thing you can do to help is rub lots of moisturizer on your stomach. Preferably Cocoa Butter, as it moisturizes and helps reduce stretch marks.
