Stretching feeling in my lower abdomen

Hello Ladies,

 I'm 9 weeks, 3 days pregnant.  And for the last week or so I've had this stretching feeling in my lower abdomen.  Is this normal?  It's not like cramps.

Also went in for our 2nd U/S on this past Saturday.  Saw baby wiggle and the heartbeat!  Loved it!  I'm just counting down the next 2 1/2 weeks until we tell the family & friends.

Everything is growing- rapidly.  Stretching is TOTALLY normal!

stretching is normal.  Just wait until you can feel it in your belly button.

Stretching is very normal, so no worries. And just wait til you get lightning crotch!

I have had the stretching feeling for about 5 weeks now. Oh Lightening Crotch hahahha... It's a nickname for Round Ligament Pain. It's some major stretching in your abdomen/cervix. To me, it feels like the gas pains (shooting twinges of pain) that you get in your tummy, except you feel it in your vagina. Good luck to you! Remember that stretching and heaviness is TOTALLY normal, if it turns into constant painful cramps then you should call your doc
