Getting these mild pulling type feelings on the sides of my lower tummy. Im around 10 weeks. Wondering if this is the uterus starting to stretch already or its something else? anyone felt this?
Around the middle of pregnancy you will start noticing that stretchy, tugging feeling dear. Its just your body making space for baby, very normal. Take it slow when you stand or turn. Nothing to worry about unless it becomes really painful.
My gynac said the uterus starts growing from early on but you usually start feeling the stretch around 12-16 weeks as it rises up. The round ligament pulls on the sides can feel funny. She told me its expected, just rest and move gently. Sharp lasting pain, get it checked.
You start feeling that stretching and pulling around the second trimester, sometimes earlier as little twinges on the sides. Its the round ligaments stretching, totally normal. Changing position slowly helps. If its sharp or with bleeding though, call your gynac.
I felt those little pulling sensations around my 4th month and honestly I got teary, it made the baby feel so real. My doc said its the uterus and ligaments stretching to make room. Nothing to fear, just your body doing its magic.
