Normal, its called round-ligament pain and its where muscles and ligaments are stretching as the baby grows. It can very scary if you have never heard of it and it really can hurt. Have no fear all is ok.

if you're talking about below the belly button on either side, I think it's just a muscle/ tendon stretching to hold the extra weight of the uterus. I recall the feeling from my first baby and it freaked me out (then again everything did), but the doctor said it's normal, kinda like when you haven't worked out for a while, then you do, and you feel the individual muscle trying so hard to support all the extra weight. Maybe that doesn't make sense, so ask your doctor. They would be the best resource anyway.

Yeah. Its even normal to have a painful stretching burning feeling around your belly and in your pelvis and hips as the round tendons kick in.

If its all the time, its just your skin trying to adjust. If it comes in "waves", then its practice contractions. Both are normal.
