I am 19 weeks pregnant


I am 19 weeks pregnant, is it normal for my stomach to be bigger that my belly? When I finish eating I feel my stomach a bit hard.

I'm 19 weeks and 1 day and am a fairly small person. Every time I eat my stomach fills up and I feel like my baby has no room to move! LOL! I think its completely normal to feel that way. I wouldn't worry about it, nice to know someone else feels the same way!

We are in the same boat for the eating. I just ate and now I feel like I have a heavy book bag on in the front! There is no stretch room at all. :)

Yup, third child and I'm 19 weeks and my stomach gets extremely hard after I eat a big meal. But even if I eat a pretty small meal my stomach is a little harder. And so yes, it is very normal. It has happened every time for me. I believe it has to do with the baby squishing your organs including your stomach. Only your stomach it pushes up and out of the way. Since your stomach is a little squished it has to move outward. But it is over your uterus, not behind it.

I am feeling the same way. I am starving all the time but when I do eat I can only eat a few bites before I am full. Then 10 mins later im starving again. After I eat I can feel the skin on my stomach stretching and my stomach feels so hard. I also get really bad reflux. Good to know its not just me.
