So this morning i laid on my back and just below my belly button my stomach is kinda firm.. not sure if it's my uterus. i decided to exam myself because as i was turning from one side to another it felt like i pulled a muscle or something but no pain after a few seconds. I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow
Your uterus is the firm part and will continue to expand upwards. The stretching causes ligaments to stretch too which can feel sore, tight, or even cause a shooting type of pain when you move sometimes. The uterus will be extra firm either because your bladder is full or you're having a tiny contraction which happens when we are dehydrated.
thank you for the info.. i needed it @earthmama i was sure wondering wth was going on in there
