This morning I was feeling flutters all over my stomach for the first time. I'm 16 weeks along. In the evening I awoke to excruciating pain across my entire stomach and under my rib cage lasting for 4 hours. Is this ligament stretching or something worse? Can this pain hurt the baby?
If it continues and stays in your ribs it could be your gallbladder. Definitely check with your doctor. Stretching pains are usually more in your lower abdomen.

I would say gallbladder too. I had mine out a few years ago and experienced what I tell people felt like a contraction that you experience during childbirth, only it is in your chest and it doesn't stop for an hour.
If you are experiencing truly excrutiating abdominal pain, get off the internet and call your doctor.
