Stitch kinda pain

[Mork]

Hi all, I am 23 weeks and have got a weird stitch like pain to the right of my belly button, which is completely new to me. No other problems and Mork is moving about quite happily. Do you think I should get this checked out or is it normal????
Thanks for replies in advance xx

Hey Mork, how are you doing?

I have this too, mainly lower down to the left of my tummy button and it's quite uncomfortable. Had it for a couple of days now and sometimes get sharp twinges when I turn over in bed. I can feel bubba move lots so that's reassuring and I'm putting it down to ligament stretching.

Thanks for asking the question though, I'll be interested to read the replies. Hope it feels better soon

Hey.
I didn't want to read and run but I've been getting a similar sort of pain just below my belly button. Is it when you stand up straight (or in a certain position) or is it there all the time? x

i get this too!! i had it the other day and it turned out to be *ahem* trapped wind
anything below the belly button i put down to stretching too...

i almost rang my midwife with the cramps, then "pop" how embarrasing would that have been!!!!!!!

Thanks ladies! It's all the time, came on a couple of hours ago xx

Thats what I was thinking to be honest. I had similar a few weeks ago, I was in agony (like literally close to tears) my husband jumped out of bed and said we were going to the hospital. When I sat up I pumped (it was really long and loud!! ) and the pain went straight away!
Imagine if we DID get to the hospital and that happened!!

Lol!!!!!!!
It is not wind I'm afraid!!! x

Ouch! Trapped wind can be REALLY painful and can definitely be a symptom! Wish I could 'pump' (love that!) and mine would go away.

This pain for me is more like a dull ache and it's constant, bit like AF cramps.

Could possibly be stretching pains? x

 

[Mork]

Mine feels like a 'tugging' if that makes sense?
Thank you all for your answers!! xx

Yea i have a pain like this too sometimes, try and rest the best you can. xx

Mine also feels like pulling/tugging... it happens to me most in bed, when I'm turning over, or sitting up. My dr said those ligaments are growing/stretching, so they pull easily. Totally normal from what she told me.

Thanks everyone! It feels a bit better today xx
