  I'm the same it's sooo sore! I've tried panadole but doesn't help! Heat packs good and prop yourself up with pillows

  Same here. I've just been resting a lot. A good TV show takes my mind off the growing pains sometimes.

  Oh thanks! I've been feeling the same way and didn't know if it was normal. Can't get comfortable! It's like stretching from the inside ugh

  I just talked to my doctor about this on Tuesday. She says its perfectly normal and not harmful to the pregnancy. Its called round ligament stretching (those deep painful tugs).

  Stretching is normal. Hurts at times and for sure is not the most comfortable thing ever .
  
  I use a sugar scrub every night in the shower. I also have about 8 pillows hubby hates them but they make me feel so much more comfortable!

  I got a belly belt. It looks like a back brace and goes under your belly. I wear it a few hours a day and it really helps. I got mine at motherhood maternity. I think most people don't wear them until later in their pregnancy but my dr suggested it bc I had back surgery in July. I found it really helps the abdominal pain as well.
