When could you “feel” a difference in your belly?

Question

When I was pregnant with my son, I remember I could feel my lower belly start to harden as my uterus grew, even before I was “showing”. I just can’t remember at what point it happened… Is this happening for anyone yet? When I push down on my lower belly i don’t feel anything yet. Given my belly has a lot more padding this time around 🥴

Answer

I remember things feeling firm around 13 weeks. I'm 13 weeks now and don't feel it yet. Also have more fluff this time 😁

Answer

My first I felt at 19 weeks. Took a while to sort out what was gas and what was baby! Hoping a little earlier with the second pregnancy. Typical if 15-16 weeks but can sometimes be as early as 12 weeks.

Answer

I feel the exact same way. I think I was closer to like 14 weeks but I can’t remember for sure. I also have a lot more padding this time around as well so I think it will be harder for me to tell. I’m only 9 weeks so I know it’s way too early for me to tell right now.

Answer

Sometimes I actually already feel it. It feels different. A little less soft. I feel it has done so for a few weeks already and I'm hitting 13+0 tomorrow.
But at other times I agree. It just feels soft. Too soft almost 😅
Not sure when it changes, but I remember I definitely noticed a real bump beginning to show at 16 weeks.
But I do have way more belly fat this time so it might be a while before it's so stretched out it feels hard 😂

Answer

I’m 10 weeks and I can feel my uterus. I don’t hold a lot of extra weight in my lower abdomen and this is also my second pregnancy in two years, so things definitely expand more quickly I think!

Answer

I've felt it for ab a month now.  I'm 13w now so somewhere around 8-9w but I'm very thin and just petite so theres not a whole lot of room for baby to go
