Answer 1

im 16 weeks and 5 days, and i just started to feel that! earlier in the pregnancy, i felt "pulling" and "cramping" on the sides. that feeling is muscles and ligaments, strectching and thickning to your growing uterus!

just to calm you down, i heard the heartbeat at my first appointment, i was 12 weeks along. i didn't get my second appointment until i was 15 weeks. i don't feel pregnant or never had to deal with morning sickness, and i am not showing yet. so i went to my second appointment telling my doctor, "i think my baby is dead" ... she laughed and said, "i hear that a lot." she pulled out the doppler, and we heard the heartbeat again.

no worries. relax and enjoy the journey

Answer 2

Hey... I'm 9 weeks and 1 day pregnant & I'm having the same thing i think!

it feels like i have done a hundred sit ups or something when i sit up or move when I'm lying down!

As far as i know this is PERFECTLY normal!

A friend of mine said i should expect to feel more hard around the abdominal area and i think this is whats causing the feeling of bruising!

its getting harder to support the weight of a growing baby!

and if u think your uterus is slowly growing 2!

its not a ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy)

believe me u would be in agony if it was!

I hope that helps!

& congratulations!
