Pulled Muscle Feeling in Stomach...should I be concerned?

nativetexan · Mar 16th, 2012, 08:28 AM

For a few days now I've had this strange "pulled muscle" type of feeling on the right side of my abdomen. It's not incredibly painful, more of an annoying feeling. I'm not sure if I should be concerned and call my doc, or just wait until my appt next Friday. Have any of you experienced something like this? I don't want to ignore something that could be serious, but I also don't want to run to the doc if it's just a growing pain type of thing.

II get this a lot, especially along the underside of my bump. I was worried that it was my section scar but I checked with the MW and she wasn't concerned. I think you're right, it's just growing/stretching/pulling pains. But definitely worth mentioning, if only to put your mind at ease

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll just bring it up at my next appt. Glad to know I'm not the only one who has felt this.

Sounds like round ligaments, there aren't very many of them to support our huge uterus so it's not unheard of to cause us some pain.

I've been getting it recently too. I think it's just stretching.
