Answer 1

yes. there was one night that i was just sitting in bed and all of a sudden, it felt like my skin might rip b/c it was stretching so much. it all depends on how your baby is sitting. sometimes the baby will push against the outside and sometimes you cant even feel them when you poke around. so the reason you only feel it sometimes, is b/c there are only a few times when your baby is pushing out on your stomach. Good luck and God Bless!

Answer 2

What it is, are the ligaments in your tummy stretching to acoomodate your growing baby and uterus. Ive had it with all 3 of my babues and Im 18 weeks with #4, and this is the worst it's ever been. I feel it the most when I sit up to get out of bed. It can get really annoying..

Answer 3

Don't know anything about that, but here's a suggestion to prevent getting stretch marks. Works great for teenagers who get stretch marks & growing pains from/on their legs:

St. Ives Collagen Elastin. Rub it in 1 to 2 times a day, and it should work pretty well.

Answer 4

its probably just round ligament pains. this is completely normal. here is some info i found out on it:

Round ligament pain generally refers to a brief, sharp, stabbing pain or a longer-lasting dull ache that pregnant women commonly feel in the lower abdomen or groin, starting in the second trimester.

You may feel round ligament pain as a short jabbing sensation if you suddenly change position, such as when you're getting out of bed or out of a chair or when you cough, roll over in bed, or get out of the bathtub. You may feel it as a dull ache after a particularly active day — when you've been walking a lot or doing some other physical activity.

The round ligaments surround your uterus in your pelvis. As your uterus grows during pregnancy, the ligaments stretch and thicken to accommodate and support it. These changes can occasionally cause pain on one or both sides of your abdomen.

You may feel the pain starting from deep inside your groin, moving upward and outward on either side to the top of your hips. The pain is internal, but if you were to trace it on your skin, it would follow the bikini line on a very high-cut bathing suit.

Answer 5

It could just be certain muscles stretching. I know sometimes my baby curls up on one side. I cant see him do it but it feels like one side is stretching and the others arent. Sorry I couldnt help more.

Answer 6

depends on the position of your baby that is why you dont feel like that all the time...

I am a mother of 4 children, 4 months old, 5 yrs old, one in heaven, and a 15 yr old

Answer 7

well if it itches your tummy is stretching your skin is... eventually your gonna have to live with it...yes it does hurt..

34 wks and 2 days pregnant.

Answer 8

because your skin stretches for a while then your body expands to fill that void and then your skin stretches again and so and so forth. thats how the baby gets room to grow.

Answer 9

you could be having either REAL contractions...or Braxton Hicks! i think you should call your doctor asap!
