I'm Currently Feeling:  | Stretching pains - what are they?
May sound like a stupid question - but what are stretching pains?
I had pains in my stomach yesterday and somebody asked if they were stretching pains? I didn't want to sound dumb so said no!!! But i dont actually quite know what they are. 
Any ideas? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I think you mean when you have strange pains in the abdomen and basically it's your uterus streching for obv reasons! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | They're just pains, they can't really be described.. Everyone feels them differently |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | They can feel a like AF cramps in early pregnancy and are the uterus stretching. Then as you get further on the muscles and ligaments supporting your uterus start to stretch and they can feel like cramps, stitches (like when you've been running) and sometimes just random sharp or pulling pains in your belly. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Mine were period like cramps in the early stages (still get them sometimes). Also hurts when I move the wrong way, a sharp pain in my side. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Sudden sharp pulling sensation in the lower abdomen when standing up for me. And at night when I go to bed, I feel quite crampy... maybe just coz I'm more aware....
Just general aches and pulls in your lower tummy. |
