For the past 2 days my lower stomach has been bloated. today the bloated feeling has gone up right about to my ribs and it feels like its stretching around my sides. Its very tight and uncomfortable. I'm having a bit of a scare because i had (protected) sex 7 days ago (did not come inside me but did some things afterwards that could have been on his hands ) and don't know if this means i could be pregnant or not I wouldn't think that my stomach would already be bloated and hurting after only one week and that is the only symptom i have had. 2 days ago eating dinner i felt sick afterwards, last night i was fine. I did eat really fast those days and know that can cause the bloated problem but i wouldn't think it would last this long. When i burp it feels slightly better. I don't know if i have this bloated feeling from pregnancy, anxiety, stress, some digestion problem. I have never been pregnant before so i don't know if this pain can be related to pain of being pregnant, it hurts pretty bad sometimes. I would really like to know because i am starting to completely stress out and its all i can think about my stomach still looks the same its not swollen or anything but it just feels really tight but feels somewhat better when i lay down. If anyone could please help me feel better about this i would greatly appreciate it! thanks

i should also add that my period started on the 23rd and ended on the 26-27 (i believe)of december. I had sex on january 1st. its now january 7th so my period should come in 17 days.

i had this bloated feeling once back in august when i was not sexually active but it only last a few days, usually being bloated is not one of the things i get around my period time.

And i do have discharge but i seem to always have that it doesn't really change anytime during the month so i can't really say the discharge im having can be a symptom because its an often thing.

I just don't understand how my stomach could feel like i already have a big baby growing in me after only 7 days. I'm stressing about it SO much i've almost convinced myself i'm pregnant. I know pregnancy is a great thing and i do want to have kids someday but now is not the time for me and i've decided to not be sexually active again until i am fully ready to take on the responsibilty as a parent. I know i made the decision so it is my fault but i really hope this is just caused by stress or something
