How DOES being pregnant physicaly REALLY feel?

Question

Hello,

I'm in my 14th week and I feel strange in my belly...

Appart from some mood swings and occasional nausea, I also feel weird and uncomfortable physicaly...

I am mostly sedentary, at home, and everytime I change position, get up, sit, go up the stairs, etc, I feel a weird sensation in my belly.

I imagine the baby is wobbeling inside of me, but am I suppose to feel it so much?

I feel "pulling" sensations around my belly. Is it my skin and muscles extending? My organs moving? The baby wobbeling? I feel like this everyday, all day, since a few days. Also kind of if I had a water balloon inside of me moving around. And I feel tense around the belly area, and very sensitive...

I've had an echography a week ago before these sensations started and everything was fine. My next check-up is due mid-Jan.

I'm a bit worried and wonder if all this is normal. Am I suppose to feel so uncomfortable so soon?

This is my first pregnancy so all this is very strange to me and I don't know what to expect... I'm also getting more and more emotional and anxious...

Answer

Shitty!

Answer

Sounds normal to me. It feels like there is a foreign object in there down low, so there's new pressure on other organs that you've never felt before. Some of it can be extremely uncomfortable! Have you ever held your bladder for so long that after you used the restroom, your bladder kind of ached and stung? That's how it feels to me a lot.

If you feel a burning/stabbing/ripping sensation on either side of your pelvis, especially when you twist, thats round ligament pain. Hurts like a you know what! You'll learn which movements/motions to avoid in the future.

I am 15wks, and I feel much the same as you, like there is a sloshy weight sitting in my lower abdomen. It's not super noticeable when I am standing or walking, but whenever I bend over, reach for something or sit down I become aware of this, extra (?) sensation. 
It's odd, but I'll cope.

Answer

It's your round ligaments.

Everything seems normal based off what you said. If you're ever concerned, call your doc.

Moving around will help. Being sedentary, pregnant or not, is not healthy. Try to get active. It will only benefit you and your pregnancy and make labor smoother.
