It's like a.... stretching pain for better words but it's sore. It can get really sharp and nearly takes my breath awa. Do you think it's baby kicking or just skin stretching? I've felt no movement yet so don't know what to expect!
 
Hi Lil-star

I get this too and it can be really painful. I've been to see the midwife about it and she didn't seem concerned and said it was just part of the stretching process. Unfortunatley we must be some of the unlucky ones as every one else I've spoken to that is or has been pregnant didn't seem to get this.

When it happens ( which is on a daily basis) it is v uncomfortable to sit down, stretch or anything which may slightly use the muscles around my belly button.

Hope it eases eventually for you!! Just keep thinking..."It will all be worth it in the end!"
 
Thanks Bellababy! It's worst when I get up in the morning, dosing my tummy with bio oil just in case it is stretch marks trying to appear but will just keep thinking your mantra!
 
OMG I so get this! for about the last 5 weeks and everywhere I have searched and everyone I have asked has no idea what im talking about! It happens whenever I do pretty much anything on some days. Moving, picking things up, stretching, walking and bending :| Its right behind my belly button and when the pain hits it goes straight across horizontal from my belly button!
I have my 16 week check up in half hour so I was so gonna demand the doctor look into why its happening. Man, I cant believe for 5 weeks I have had this and half hour before my appointment I find two others with it!
 
Let us know how you get on!! I've a scan on Wednesday I was going to ask then too:happydance:
 
Let us know how you get on...it would be nice to hear if there is any other explanation for it as "Stretching" seems to be the answer to everything when you are pregnant!!

Hope you get on ok!
 
Well my dr had the same answer. He sound it sounds like normal stretching pain. Apparently some get it in other places more than others. He said the cos the uterus is busy pushing everything out of the way there was bound to be a lil pain involved. He checked my tummy over and said my uterus felt like a 18 week baby instead of a 16 week :|
 
Iv had this since i was 12 weeks !
Mine can be rele painful but then i wont have anything for days.
At first i thought it hurt because my scar from my belly button piercing was stretching lol.

All my scans have been fine though, so its most deffo stretching pains =]
 
Glad I stumbled on this thread! I had a sharp shooting pain behind my belly button today! had it a couple of times since, usually my growing pains are mainly round my right hand side of my utuerus x
 
Yeh I got this too and was told to look out, my inny will become am outy as I get bigger. lol
