I'm 18w 4d and I'm just feeling uncomfortable in my skin. Like something is always tight and pulling no matter hhow I sit or lay... I hope its not just me.

Ah the plastic wrap description is a good one! I keep trying to explain to people and can't think of a good way!

Yes! My goodness, I'm due Feb 1st (22 weeks!) And sleeping has become impossible. I'm so uncomfortable, and I feel as if my skin is like plastic wrap, stretched as far as possible. I'm surprised I haven't gotten stretch marks yet! (on my tummy that is. My boobs and butt, however... That's a different story!)

19w 4d and I am so uncomfortable. I feel huge and then I get bloated on top of it. I can't picture getting any bigger than this. The baby is on my bladder and her head is beside my cervix, so when she moves down there it is so uncomfortable. And I'm only half way through. Ahhhhhh. ..  this is my third pregnancy so you would think I would be use to it by now, but no. Thank goodness I'm super busy with my other two girls, that this prwgnancy is flying by.

My belly is getting bigger but because im a bbw naturally im still rather soft and not hard/tight yet.

I am right there with you all.  The worse part is when you have cramps in a new area because that is when you start to worry if something is wrong.

I know exactly what you mean about the cramps! I read that is when the baby is moving, and further in yohr pregnancy it will be considered braxton hicks... but that its completely normal! I get them a lot when I go from standing to sitting... I guess the babies are just bumping into stuff in there haha

I feel the same too. I'm 19+1. And I can't even lay down anymore but I have so much pressure wherw my uterus is it makes it soooo uncomfortable! Plus I think I've been having braxton hicks because every so often my uterus gets really tight for a few seconds then its gone...almost feels like period cramps but kinda different but I'm not sure bc this is my first pregnancy.
