Odd feeling while on eliptical...

in 2nd Trimester
Felt a strange, almost a slight tightening feeling around where baby is now...maybe a little lower, straight down the center.  It did not hurt, but I questioned whether or not I should stop.  Was going very slowly with medium resistance.  A bit concerned as my cervical length is 2/3 a normal length.  MD will begin checking for shortening a week from today, at 16 wks.  Any ideas?
March 2011: Off Nuva, cycle back to "normal" for me: No periods since 15 years old. June 2011:Provera&50 mg Clomid; Progesterone:0.7 July 2011:Provera&100mg Clomid; Progesterone:3.29 Met with RE:No Clomid response, begin injectables Sep 5 mg Letrozole and Ovidrel in the interim month. Cut out running (was a distance-runner), cycling, eliptical. Restricted to weight-training, walking, pilates. Brain MRI normal. Being physically over-stressed is the reason the body stopped producing prog. Late Sep 2011: Menopur, Ovidrel,& IUI (10.10.11):BFN-Great injectable response: 2 mature, 6 near mature, many smaller; Problem: 9 cysts! Dr: IUI too uncontrolled for number of viable eggs & age.

    When I was about 14 weeks I started feeling "lightening crotch" as they call it. It's a sharp sudden pain that goes from your uterus down to your vag. I'm not sure if this is what you felt but if it is, it is completely normal. It's the stretching of your ligaments to make space for baby.

    That sounds like a braxton hicks.  Have you been cleared for exercise since you have a shorter cervix?  You may just want to take it easy until you see your doctor.  Braxton hicks can be perfectly normal, but since you have an issue with your cervix you may want to just be extra careful.

    MD told me I could start running in 2nd tri, but there's NO WAY I'm going to chance it.  Distance running is what got me into my siggy mess.  I will def take it easy until then...appt 1 week from today.  Thanks, girls!

    If working out is normal for you, you know what feels *not* normal :)  If this doesn't feel right, I'd skip the elliptical and talk to your doc.  Better to skip a few workouts and have peace of mind than the alternative.  You can always do something less strenuous until then, like walking on a treadmill (or sidewalk) or some low-impact yoga.
