Discomfort in back/tummy

Hi all, i am currently week 19 and already feel like my intestines are all messed up. My tummy feels very tight all the time, with the skin on my lower back stretching tightly too. Stomach area also feel very full and uncomfortable, making it hard to breathe (upper back has quite a lot of pressure) As it’s my first pregnancy idk whether this is normal and will it just get worse cos i am only in my second tri :( Please share your experience and advice, if any! Thank you 😢 #firsttimemom #firstpreganancy

Yess perfectly normal. This is my first pregnancy as well. Around this time, our uterus is growing, pressing against our stomach wall, making our stomach hard and tight. You’ll also start to feel the weight of your baby, even if your bump is small. Honestly theres nothing much that can be done to ease as baby is growing.
