Pregnant And Stomach Feels Hard. Is This Normal?
Question: I'm 5 weeks in 2days and my stomach feels hard is it to early for that
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The feeling of hardness during the pregnancy is likely to be due to the hormonal changes that take place in the body due to pregnancy. Constipation, bloating, gastric acidity, heartburn, nausea, vomiting are the early pregnancy symptoms that can cause a feeling of mild hardness in the stomach.
Following some lifestyle modifications will help control your symptoms
1.) Eat fiber XXXXXXX fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables and avoid foods which are not easily digestible and fatty foods
2.) Have six small meals instead of 3 large meals
3.) Drink plenty of fluids
4.) Go for regular Brisk walks for 15 to 20 minutes daily.
