Often I read threads where women are having pinching or pulling pains around their navel or different areas of their abdomen. I came across a nurse on another thread who gave this answer as a possible reason:
She said she was a OB/GYN nurse, and hears this complaint daily.

"It sounds like what you are experiencing is Round Ligament pain. You have a bunch of ligaments under and around the uterus that help support it. As your uterus grows, these ligaments must stretch to accommodate the enlarging uterus.This can cause the types of pain it sounds like you are having. I commonly hear the pain referred to as pinching, pulling, or sharp shooting pains. Any pain that you experience is worthy of mentioning to your physician, just to be on the safe side. If you have any other unusual symptoms such as spotting/ bleeding, fever, or unbearable pain, contact your doc right away. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!"

Hmmm...makes sense to me!
