Ususally its just the uterus stretching and growing that causes pulling pains. If you get worried or loose blood then call the hospital xxx
Reply:my friend is currently 30 weeks pregnant and she was experiancing the exact same thing.


she told the midwife and was told it was just the muscles in the belly near the belly button stretching to make more room for baby.


but that this can also be a sign of a hernia in the belly button but this is painful and usually only happens later on. and the belly button sticks out way more than usual and rubs against clothes which makes it more painful. xx
Reply:your belly is making room fro baby try laying on your right side and drinking plenty water. If it doesn't work then u can always call er room or pharamcy and ask them.
Reply:your belly is just growing. i had the samr then the whole time i was ppregnant. dont worry
