Is this a Symptom??

Question

After asking advice in this forum before (and taking some lol) I have another question to ask.....the main "symptom" I have is, what feels like a knot very low down in my stomach, it feels like its sometimes tightening and other times feels like it’s loosening, does this sound like a symptom of pregnancy?? xxx

I posted a few days ago with other symptoms, feeling sick but not actually being sick, swollen/bigger breasts and constantly going to the toilet! xx

Answer 1

i had a strange feeling in my tummy which i first noticed a week before my period was due which felt like pressure. Its hard to explain but it was kiind of like a tightning type feeling i guess. It never hurt, it just felt odd.I still get it now and im 12 weeks so i just assume its the uterus changing.Some women get mild cramps but i have just had the pressure. So i guess it could be a sign. Your just gonna have to hng in there and do another test, if you have already done one.Good luck and i hope your strange feeling is the same as what i had and results in a happy healthy pregnancy :) x
