[Contrariety]

I am 14 wks along and sometimes when I recline from a sitting position, I feel a tugging in the middle of my belly... kind of a stretching feeling between my ab muscles. Sounds like a normal pregnancy thing, except that I've had it for weeks, I feel it a good inch or two above my belly button and there's no way it's my uterus/baby stretching my muscles.

Weird, right? Weirder still is that I used to feel it more frequently a few weeks than I do these days. I have pretty strong ab muscles, or at least I did before becoming a pregnant couch potato.

It couldn't be diastasis recti already, could it?? I can't even fathom it!

I'd assume it was the muscles supporting your uterus getting strained.

I'm not sure what exactly is happening but I have felt that sort of thing too with each of my pregnancies. Also i have not had the muscle separation problem if it makes you feel any better. Or if I did i was able to get them back to normal with working my abs several times a day starting a couple days after birth.
