Is it normal to feel like this after eating??

I just had my breakfast which consisted of 2 egg whites on whole wheat and a banana. And a cup of coffee. Why do I feel like my tummy is going to split open or I'm going to explode from how full I am?? It wasn't even alot of food but I feel like I ate like a pig...it's even hard to breathe!


31 wks today!

It's completely normal, you have understand that the baby is occupying a lot of space in your stomach, especially at this stage.
Btw, when are you going to show us belly pics?

yes, it is very normal. I found that eating small meals more often throughout the day helped with that full feeling.

How funny - I just ate the EXACT same thing! (Minus the banana - had watermelon instead)

yes I always feel like that after eating nowadays esp if I sit down for a long period of time. Try walking around- that usually helps.

more room for baby = less room for toast....yes remember everything is squished and displaced in there.....it's all normal

I found that I couldn't eat much in one sitting, but I would graze all day for that reason. It starts getting a little cramped in there toward the end

I guess that makes sense... maybe that's why I get hungry more often now, since I can't fit as much food anymore!

jantany - I'll see if I can find some 'postable' (aka - not scary) belly pics tonight when I get home!
