Advice from the Advice People

This is a question for those of you who have been pregnant before. I've had this stretching feeling right below my bust line (like where my belly starts) that feels like I've been doing tons of situps. The rest of my ab muscles feel fine. Anyone experience this before?

Do you have any belly yet? Obviously I do, and I have that "feeling" you're describing...I think.

I had pressure and stretchy feelings when I was far far along. I always attributed it to either the baby pushing on me or "contractions." I had a lot feelings that I thought might be contractions until I had my first one, then I knew that the others weren't and this definitely was!

I had some shortness of breath that sometimes felt funny right at the top of the belly -- do you have any shortness of breath?

I loved going to the midwife with my various "complaints." They basically tell you, "Hmm, sounds normal."

So I don't know this from personal experience, but from my NP clinicals all summer at an OB/GYN- all pregnant women complain of weird stretching sensations. So... I think you are Normal!! Yeah!!
