I read in the "What to Expect When Expecting" book, after I was feeling it. But wanted to bounce it off you guys to see if its really correct. A strange "pulling" feeling in my belly. Almost like stretching maybe? I think the only reason I feel like I'm so tuned in to my body in the belly region is because of my surgery from 2006 where they basically loosed all the "attachments" in my bowls and let everything "be loose". Its a similar strange feeling. Used to be if I laid on my side I could feel everything shift w/gravity (sorry TMI). Its not the same feeling, but I think I'm a little more in tune like I said. Did anybody else feel "pulling" or "stretching" this early? Or am I just crazy? It WAS in that section... |

You will feel lots of stretching/pulling It's called round ligament pain Round ligament pain generally refers to a brief, sharp, stabbing pain or a longer-lasting dull ache that pregnant women commonly feel in the lower abdomen or groin, starting in the second trimester. I noticed it most when I was real active.

I felt lots of that with my first one - it totally freaked me out. I didn't feel it so much with Allie - probably everything was already pretty stretched out still. |

Your body is going to feel so many different things and I think every person is different. You are not crazy.......all normal! You are making a baby! |

Sorry you are feeling crummy. Hope you start feeling better soon, and can really enjoy your pregnancy. I was just thinking about you the other day and tried to be your friend on myspace to ask how you were doing but couldn't. Nice to know you are doing alright! |

I have it too, it's normal. I'm due the same day as you, August 16, 2009. I have an ultrasound this Thursday, I'm so excited. Have you found out what you are having? I'm not going to find out. I want it to be a surprise. |
