Muscle strain?

in Pregnant after IF

Hi ladies! I just got my first 2 betas following our second IVF cycle. I've been scared to intro here quite yet, in fear that something might go wrong. I do have a pregnancy related question, though, and I know this is the place to ask :-)

I'm only about 5 weeks along (5 weeks and 2 days to be exact :-)) but I've had what feels like weird muscle strain on either side of my belly. I notice it most often when I cough or sneeze, but also mildly when I pull my legs up or stretch them out. 

Has anyone experienced something similar so early or am I crazy? (Either is very possible!)

Thanks ladies :-) 

Me: 26, DH: 31
dx MFI 10/10
IVF #1 10/11-11/11 BFN
IVF #2 1/12 BFP! 1st u/s It's twins!

    First, congrats!!! Second, you are not crazy.  The ligaments in/around your abdomen loosen up during pregnancy, and in my case too that happened very early, like when I turned over too fast in bed, or coughed (and I had a really bad cough from about 5w4d).

    I get that occasionally when I sneeze or cough, but it does go away for me.
