Tenderness in lower belly

Yes I have started to have that, I’m currently 16 weeks. It’s only slight but can tell it’s because my belly has suddenly popped in the last week, baby must have had a growth spurt

I’ve had a sore belly most of today and I feel really tender too. I’m 17 weeks and I’m the same as you, have no idea if it’s expected to happen or if it’s something bad. 🤷‍♀️

Yep, mine had started this week and I’m 16 weeks. It feels the same as what you’re mentioning, like my bladder is at the front of my abdomen and feels tender. I thought it would last a day or two but I’m now on day four of it and it can be painful sometimes.

Hoping it’s just baby growth.

Usually it’s quite common in 2-3 trimesters as uterus start growing etc. sometimes constipation it might be the reason too. As long as you dont have pain, or it’s getting very uncomfortable/ worse in this case I would suggest you contacting your midwife. Had very similar experience when I was 15 weeks, went to see doctor he told me to rest, not lift anything, to avoid any heave activity and not to SRESS tbh been doing all of that. I rested for a week and It’s gone.

Yeah I've had this for weeks I even asked my midwife about it at my appt because it feels like a painful bladder like a uti but no other symptoms (doesn't hurt to pee) she said its totally normal and just where baby is pushing on it and things are moving. It's actually eased off in the last few weeks and now my pain is all much higher up. I'm 18+5 x
