Feels like I did situps?

Random question for you beautiful mommies to be. I'm in my 5th week and I'm sore in my upper tummy right under my rib cage. I don't remember doing situps this week but that's what it feels like. Is this totally weird or unrelated to the pregnancy? Am I totally alone on this one lol?

    I've had that kind of pain on my right side each pregnancy and I always ask if it is my appendix and it never is. I don't know what it is or what it means so maybe someone else will have insight.

    I've had exactly this type of pain under my rib cage. I think it may be heartburn or indigestion. I took some tums and did get some relief.

    The same thing was happening for me too last week. I'm starting to realized that these "minor" aches and pains just come along with pregnancy, as this is my first pregnancy. Feel free to join us on the July 2013 Moms board!

    Oh trust me I am 4wks&2days and I woke up before I knew I was pregnant and felt like I had done sit ups all night long. I believe its normal, honestly our bodies have to start adjusting the weight and child that will be developing which would probably cause soreness. Thank you for posting I was curious about that upper pain in the rib cage too.

    I know exactly how you feel. It felt like I had been in the gym all day doing ab workouts. I had it from about 3 weeks to 6 weeks. I can't tell you what it is, but I do know it happens to a lot of us :) I read somewhere that its your body working extra hard because of the baby :) Good luck girl!!

    I noticed this last night...  I think it's our stomach muscles stretching as our bodies grow.  Or it's really bad bloat...  Either way it's weird to feel all bloated and gross and like you've spent time at the gym working your abs at the same time.
