25+ weekers tell me about your growth spurt aches...

I know it is normal to have an achy uterus when it and your LO are growing, but I wanted to exhange stories of how it feels :) This week is a lot different then the past growth spurt.

I was up pretty much all night last night from the aching that starts just below my sternum and extends down to my belly button. It almost feels like someone is pulling all of the muscles inside of me up with a string.

    Thank you for describing this. DH asks me why I stop walking when my belly hurts and all I can tell him is it's a "pulling" feeling. This is with wearing jeans with strong support in the front. But you're right, it feels like it's being pulled by a string. That's exactly what I mean.

    To me it always feels like I did a bunch of crunches after not excercising in awhile.

    My pain is just like a period cramp for a minute and goes away and usually on my right side.

    I am now 26 weeks and it feels alot like it did early in 2nd tri - though perhaps a little more intense but shorter in duration.  I think this must be a normal time to feel them again.

    I had a lot of pain on my side and my doctor said it sounds like round ligament pain. The pulling, and aches around my ribs down to my hips. He said you get this because the baby is growing so fast during a short time and its like your muscles arent ready for it.

    But it has gotten better over the last couple of days. I dont notice it as much.
