Awful ripping pain in upper abdomen
Is anyone else getting a ripping/tearing feeling in their upper abdomen. It feels like it's under the surface of the skin, like something is tearing away from the underside of my belly. How I'd imagine your muscles tearing to feel. Sounds so over the top but I also have hEDS which is a soft tissue disorder so genuinely worried something inside is actually tearing. It's worse when stood up/walking around. I don't have it in hips and groin so isn't RLP. Please reassure me this is normal before I talk to my midwife 😅

For me it feels like Velcro is being ripped off under my skin? Right in the middle of my belly usually Anyway no idea what it is but it shocks me every time aha x
I had HSD so similar symptoms. I would still mention it too you midwife as they might have some advice for you. I have days where I feel like I am being stretched out so much and other days I don't feel the stretch at all.
Get some KT tape it really does help. Google pregnancy kt tape positions. Wear for 2 days to start with. It supports ur bump to take weight off ur upper tummy. Good luck. https://amzn.to/3Zt7mBH

Yes I’ve been getting this on and off for a few weeks. I think it’s my skin and abdominal muscles stretching as the baby grows. It’s really sore and tender
