I feel like I am going to split in half..

I am 22 weeks and my upper abdomen/rib area and upper back area feel so tight and constricted.

Eating is a chore because if I overeat, I feel like I will implode.

Ugh - I bet this is going to get worse right?

Please tell me I am not alone and not a freak!

It just gets worse LOL but if you have another it wont be as bad next time

Re: I feel like I am going to split in half..

I could have written this post myself and I will be 22 weeks tomorrow! I usually feel this way after I eat at the end of the day. I was just saying today how uncomfortable I feel by the end of the day and how I know its only gonna get worse!! But its all worth it!

Re: I feel like I am going to split in half..

I have the same problem and I am 24 weeks. Just try to eat smaller meals and eat more often.

Try eating smaller meals to see if that helps. I still feel like that at times at 37 weeks but sometimes if I slow down eathing it gets better.. good luck

Mine was horrible! Try just rubbing your belly with lotion, this helped me greatly! Its amazing how far your skin can stretch!
