ab muscle pain

Did anyone have severe ab muscle pain during their multiples pregnancy?  It feels like the muscles are ripping apart.  Is this normal or should I be calling my doctor?

I did, and when I asked my nurse, she said it was my muscles separating. I delivered 7 weeks ago, and there is a gap the width of two fingers between my abs that runs down the middle of my belly (from the bottom of my sternum to the top of my pubic bone). My dr said this happens to accommodate the growing uterus, and eventually the muscles will knit back together.

I have it now.  It's miserable. I made my Dr promise me that I won't completely split in half before this is over.  Like PP said, it's the ab muscles separating.

Thanks for the replies!  I asked a MoM at school while ago and she also said she had torn cartlidge and a hyrnea when pregnant with her girls.  Guess I'll tell them at my appt Wednesday and hope for the best!
