Hello. This doesn't sound like anything to be worried about at this stage. I would be more worried if she was bloated or the stomach was hard. That being said, it is hard for me to say much without examining her myself. As long as she is eating and drinking and acting normally I would just monitor her and see if this condition persists. If you are worried though, you should take her to your veterinarian for an exam as you know her best. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
