Stretching?

I have a question about what stretching pains feel like.

I am only 4 weeks 2 days, possibly more waiting for dates to be confirmed at a scan in 2 weeks.

For about the last week or so since even before I found out, I have had this feeling in my abdomen, it's not a pain, it's not sore, but it's just kind of tight and I am very aware of it almost all of the time.

What I find weird about it is that most of the time it's to the left of my abdomen... never on the right. It's just a feeling in the left side of my abdomen.

Is this what stretching feels like or might this be something else? Do I need to be worried? As I said, it doesn't hurt. It's uncomfortable but it doesn't hurt.

I get stabby pains separately but they are not bad either.

This feeling is not at all like AF coming or AF pain as I have seen some people mention.

Sorry if I am being paranoid, this is my first and I really have no idea what to expect

Any advice appreciated

Also congrats and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy

SOunds like what i had too, i was worried as well, seeing as though this is my first also, but its just lil bean getting settled in there for the long trip he/she will go on :)

Thanks that makes me feel so much better, I sort of thought it had to be in the middle lol total newbie.

I feel heaps better today its been a lot less noticeable so I am happy about that too

Babyg its not even painful at all, its more just an awareness, discomfort sort of thing but definitely not sore so I think you're right, its probably ok.

No bleeding or anything at all.

Thanks heaps :) Congrats on your pregnancy also

I had stretching pains I guess that's what they were across the middle of my back - beneath where my bra strap fits, figured it was my muscles and things stretching to accommodate my growing boobs.

I have had some nasty shooting nerve pains up my hips - they're a bit ouchie - I've got clicky hips to start with. 

I had this - it freaked me out a bit and was quite offputting at times but I'm now 15 weeks and things are fine. Good luck with your pregnancy.

Shelly did it cause problems for the pregnancy or was it just treated as a separate thing?

I dont think its anything to worry about as it's eased off since I wrote this message, only happens occasionally and not hurting

Having a scan next week so Ill find out anyway

Hi guys just letting you know that I had a scan today and all is good, it showed baby implanted on the left so that must be the reason for the random awareness on my left side. So if this happens to anyone else don't worry too much :)
