    I can feel some serious expansion the last few days, stomach feels a bit tight, but from the inside. It's just the weirdest thing. Anyone else been experiencing this?

    Well...my belly feels tighter and tighter every day, both inside and out...but I'm about 20 days away from my due date now, so I think that's to be expected! :D

    I started to really feel the weight of everything around 20 weeks or so; up until that point I dont think I really felt any different on the inside, even though I had started showing. I think that feeling could probably be described as tightening.

    I'm in my 23rd week now and until 2 or 3 weeks ago I didn't notice much change. But it's the same for me now. I notice the heaviness of my stomach, I can't bend over anymore, I have to crouch down, it feels like I have a mini sandbag attached to my stomach if I do.
    I guess there's been growth of the baby the last couple of weeks and my stomach is popping out a bit now as a result! :)

    I have a similar experience with eating. I have to eat small meals now. I get full really fast and have to stop. Then it feels like my stomach is going to burst! :)
    It's going to be a warm summer for those of us who are in the later stages of pregnancy!

    I wish my son did that when he was a baby. He hardly ever slept and when he did it was for a max of 2 hours and this lasted until he was 3 months old and he ate as if he was a starved baby, and he was formula fed too which supposedly makes them feel fuller quicker.
    Fast Forward almost 5 years and now he finally sleeps all the way thru the night but still eats like a starved child.

    Hello beautiful Goddesses, I just wanted to inform you about pregnancy massage therapy. It's great for low back pain, shooting pain down legs and edema(swelling) and relaxation(lowering blood pressure).
    I am not pregnant, but I am a registered Massage Therapist and work with
    expecting mothers all the time, and fathers.
    Make sure you find a therapist that has experience with side lying massage.

    I was at the Toronto, May 9 2006 pearl jam show. Many highlights, but I was wondering if anyone knows about the woman who was at the show and fully pregnant. She wore a bright red t-shirt that said in white letters
    " Pearl Jam's Littlest fan" and had arrows pointing to her belly. Priceless. She and her man were on the subway going home later that night.
    If you're on this thread , I hope all goes well with your labour and delivery.
    Cheers to you all, T ps. loud grunts and moans and even screaming help alot during the transition phase of labour, let it all out. Peace and Love
    Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's Soul remains Unawakened.

    Yeah, I said the same thing until I hit 30 and then things started to change, priorities, maturity level. Hey don't knock it, you could be like the rest of us in a few years.

    Well, that's the beauty of it, it's a personal choice, it's not something any of us has to do. I know lots of people that never want to have children and are quite happy without them. It's what works for you.

    REALLY? People make me out to be an asshole or something just because I choose not to f**k up my body and go into the poor house for some cryin baby who will bother you the rest of your life..I've lost lots of friends because they chose to have a bunch of kids and live paycheck to paycheck..they get pissed because they couldn't take ME down with them!! Anyway, Im the baby of six kids and all my sisters and brothers have children and they tell me I'm the smartest woman EVER!!!

    See I LOVE being a Mom. And I don't live paycheck to paycheck. Not everyone does. And I am glad you think I fucked up my body. Maybe you should think before you say such things.

    I did think, therefore I posted! I didn't say people didn't love being a mom..I would hope you do love being a mom. For the kid's sake that is...Motherhood isn't for everybody!
