Can you "feel" your little one's growth spurts?

A few days ago I posted about having some horrible back pain. It still comes and goes but is not constant like it was...ouch!  Additionally, my stomach/ute felf really tight as well. Almost like I couldn't stand up straight. Annnnyway, the more I think about it since I'm feeling better, I'm just wondering if I was feeling a growth spurt of Madelyn's or maybe of my uterus? That might sound silly, but every few weeks or so it does seem to be stretching out down there a lot more and I get worried. It lasts for a few days and then it gets better... What do you think? Can you feel yours/your little one's growth spurts?

    Once in a while I'll get mildly crampy for a couple days .. and that's what I think too. It's a growth spurt of my ute.

    It could very well be LO's growth spurts.  But I also know that sciatica pain is very common at this point in pregnancy and it could be from sitting/standing/walking too long.  I feel it mainly on my right side and it shoots down my right leg.  Not comfy.

    Totally! Every once in and a while my belly feels super stretched out and then the next day it looks bigger. And a couple weeks ago it felt like my belly button totally snapped and it instantly felt and looked different.

    I have days like that and I always feel like I'm having tons of BHs on those days as well. Usually a few days later I can tell my belly is bigger than it was the week before. I have to assume its growing pains/spurts.

    Somedays I wake up and it feels like a did 500 crunches the night before.. I'm thinking that could be growth spurts?

    I definitely think you can feel it! I tell DH that all the time, that I can tell when she's had a growth spurt because I'll have a day or two where I just feel way more 'stretched' than I had been... and I think I feel more movement during those times too, like she's trying to get comfy with less room.
