pulling sensation

Anyone been getting a pulling sensation all around?  Mine started on one side and felt like a pulled muscle in my upper to mid belly and now it's a little lower on the same side.  I'm assuming it just things stretching and I feel it mostly if I turn a certain way or make a sudden movment.  Is this RLP?

    I get pulling sensations, in the same region where i get O pains, everytime I try to shift my hips, or stretch my back, and also when I cough. I'm pretty sure it's just RLP.

    Oh! I started getting those a few days ago. I have no idea what it is though. I was actually going to ask about this too, so thank you for posting this. :) 

     Out of curiosity, what does RLP stand for?

    RLP: Round Ligament Pain

    "Round ligament pain generally refers to a brief, sharp, stabbing pain or a longer-lasting dull ache that pregnant women commonly feel in the lower abdomen or groin, starting in the second trimester.

    You may feel round ligament pain as a short jabbing sensation if you suddenly change position, such as when you're getting out of bed or out of a chair or when you cough, roll over in bed, or get out of the bathtub. You may feel it as a dull ache after a particularly active day ? when you've been walking a lot or doing some other physical activity.

    The round ligaments surround your uterus in your pelvis. As your uterus grows during pregnancy, the ligaments stretch and thicken to accommodate and support it. These changes can occasionally cause pain on one or both sides of your abdomen.

    You may feel the pain starting from deep inside your groin, moving upward and outward on either side to the top of your hips. The pain is internal, but if you were to trace it on your skin, it would follow the bikini line on a very high-cut bathing suit."
