Normal growing pains of pregnancy???

I am almost 14 wks. and for the past 2 or 3 days I've noticed a lot of pulling and stretching in my abdomen. It's different from the uterine cramping I was having early on in my pregnancy. This feels like something is weighing down my abdomen, pulling it towards the ground. There just seems to be so much pull and stretch going on that it feels weird. I am sure it's normal but I wanted to see what you guys thought. Thanks!! Chat Icon

totally normal - i still get it all the time. now is about the time when you'll feel the switch between regular uterine stretching and round ligament pains. it's usually just uncomfortable - unless you are double over in pain, i wouldn't worry Chat Icon

It's not painful, just a weird uncomfortable pain. I read about the round ligament pain and it sounds exactly like what I am feeling. It's so crazy all the things that happen to your body when you are pregnant. Everything feels different and strange, it's almost like you don't recognize your own self some days. The whole experience is very, very cool!! I just always like to make sure everything I feel is normal so I don't worry. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I felt this around 12 and then again around 20 weeks. It almost felt like I pulled a muscle in my lower abdomen. Totally painful but normal.
