Does anyone have a few aches?

Hello everyone! I was just wondering if anyone else has stretching pains(mild) once in a while. I do a bit, hopefully it's nothing and everything is fine. I feel a bit paranoid. I've forgotton everything that goes along with pregnancy!

Ooh! What do stretching pains feel like? I've been getting some pangs in my womb area and some gas-like pains, which I'm always afraid will graduate to full-fledged cramps. I've been pretty paranoid about them too. Especially since I've never done this before.

Are mild pains like this normal?

Yup, totally normal.

I'm mostly feeling gas burbling around. It's none too comfortable.

definitely having the pains - round ligament pains as the ligamnets that hold the uterus stretch to allow it to grow. it's amazing to me how much faster everything is happening this time than it did with #1. my clothes are already tight - last night i didn't need maternity clothes until about 5 monts. if i make it to 2 months this time i'll be surprised.

it's good to here that others have the same things going on inside them! So much happens during the first trimester. It's amazing what are bodies naturally do.

Me too. Sort of like cramps, sort of like gas. Worse when my bladder is full.

I'm getting the round ligament pain if I get up too fast from a sitting position.

I was noticing last night that I could really feel my uterus sticking out. I was just amazed that I could feel that already!

Yes, I had the stretching/mild cramping for about a week, but I've noticed over the past couple of days it has really diminished. But I definitely feel the round ligament pain when I sit up too quickly or turn over in bed the wrong way! I can't feel my uterus yet but mine is retroverted, so I probably won't feel it for a while.
