Does anyone else feel like their body is overcrowded?

I’ll be 17 weeks on Monday, and my bump popped in the last week which is cool! But i am physically so uncomfortable. It feels like there isn’t enough room for my organs in my body. I went from feeling second trimester energy to feeling SO uncomfortable. Can anyone else relate? What can we do to make this feel less icky?

I was just telling my husband this! There’s literally no more room 😩. I’m so uncomfortable. Making sure my bladder is always empty, eating small portions at a time, keeping my digestive tract regular and using pregnancy tape helps. I’m 16 weeks with twins. The ligament pain is what’s driving me crazy. I teach kindergarten and Tuesday is the first day of school….I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get to my due date if I’m already feeling this uncomfortable this early 😩😩

Ugh I feel this. I’m only 14.5 but it’s so weird and uncomfortable my intestines being pushed around I have no clue where they are going to go. But yeah def keeping bladder empty and trying to keep my bowels moving helps as ebony said…

I take baths and it takes weight off it’s nice relief. Obviously not too hot

@Ebony I would already start using those pregnancy support belly support bands braces… I’m using one as soon as my belly gets big enough. you’ve seen them? To keep belly up?

Especially with twins… I would just buy one right away to take some pressure off cuz that must hurt

@Isabela I haven’t used the pregnancy bands, but I am using pregnancy tape for support. It does help some!

I might buy that I never heard of it, a pregnancy brace wouldn’t fit right now. my belly is too small

Omg Ebony, twin mom, you are a hero. WISHING YOU THE BEST FOR BACK TO SCHOOL ❤️ I could only imagine how tough it is. Now I feel bad for complaining 😂😂 Good call on trying to “empty” as much as possible!! Oooh I need to look into tape and bands. Isabela oooh soothing baths or showers also sounds like a great idea, thank you!! It’s a struggle over here!

@Nina I imagine you're feeling extra full right now because your body is adjusting. It'll take time and get a little easier as all the stuff shifts out of the way. You won't feel empty, but you won't feel like an overstuffed turkey either.

Today I have felt so uncomfortable. Definitely feeling the pregnancy now

Kyla agreed!! My body seems like its going through an adjustment period. I hope everything settles smoothly! I feel you Apryl!! Sending good vibes through the discomfort!
