Hypersensitive to uterus stretching

Since getting their BFP, is anyone else hypersensitive to your uterus stretching?  I feel like the whole area below my belly button just keeps stretching and moving.  It's not really cramping - just more like stretching.  Just curious if anyone else has experienced this before.

Re: Hypersensitive to uterus stretching

  • It feels like regular AF cramps to me. I realize they are not. I'm only aware of them because I got a BFP and I try to ignore them as much as possible. It is hard to though because on BC I never had cramps.

  • With my second it felt more like stretching.  But my first, my mmc, and this one felt more like cramping.

  • I feel lots of stretching going on.  I get jolts when I'm moving around.  It's normal but still feels strange.
    Due May 16th with baby #3!
  • If I'm in a weird position in bed I can tell that it's stretched and it hurts a little but I get the normal cramps everyday.
  • Strange that you mentioned it- within a week of finding out I was pregnant (and still very early) I could feel a sharp pain when I got up too quickly.  I asked a friend who said it was round ligament.  But then I didn't feel it all the time.  I'm at six weeks now and I can say that it feels more like a stretch than a stab and it's more frequent.  I didn't think I would feel anything this early but I guess the joys start at the beginning!
  • Yes! I definitely feel something going on down there! This is my first so I have no idea what to expect! It's comforting to see what everyone posted.
  • It's also highly possible that what you're feeling isn't uterine cramping at all. Don't forget that gas and bloating can cause pain and discomfort in the same area that is easy to confuse with cramps.

  • When I first noticed the slight cramping, I began to worry. But it's more of a stretching feeling with back aches. Nothing compared to AF cramps.. Lord only knows I have the worst. lol
