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...

So I'm crazy Lisa?

AlexsPajamaMama replied: 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.

Our Lil' Family replied: Yep, I'm kinda feeling it too. What's your due date? I think I'm Aug. 12th, I'm 5 weeks.

A&A'smommy replied: I did!!!!

DillsMommy replied: I don't remember feeling that, but I've read before that it is normal...

~Roo'sMama~ replied: 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.

Mommy2Isabella replied: I felt it too!!!

moped replied: 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 its been forever since I've been on Work and feeling not so good pretty much all day. That's been fun. Luckily I've been keeping everything down.

Went to the first appt and looks like I'm due Aug 16th. My guess was Aug 15th, so pretty much right on

Next appt is not this coming Tuesday but next (27th??)

A&A'smommy replied:

Mommy2Isabella replied: 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!

Our Lil' Family replied:
I'm sorry you're feeling sick! That's crummy.
So we're 4 days apart, cool! I go back on the 27th also!!

Kaitlin'smom replied: we miss you. oh and if you can try some peppermint that might help you feel better.

Tashina replied: 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.
