Yep it is normal. I get that and I am only 9 weeks. =P Its just your belly stretching more.

Answer 5

I started getting this at around 20 weeks. I asked at one of my appointments and they said that bubs was probably lying on a nerve. It really hurt!!

I had another appointment 2 days before my due date and I mentioned it again and the midwife got a bit concerned as my blood pressure was also a bit high and both are signs of preeclampsia... I didn't have preeclampsia but they discovered bubs was breech. They decided that the pain was her head resting on my ribs...

I honestly don't know what it was in the end.... I'm pretty sure it wasn't bubs head that high when I was 20 weeks lol but the midwife when I was due was really concerned....I think she was overeacting and the first was right, just bubs sitting on a nerve

Answer 6

yes very normal. the baby's getting bigger and making you sore and winded. it gets worse as you go along.
