Debra - 97 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yup! Most women have it. It's ligament stretching due to the hormone relaxin that is coursing through your system. You will experience periodic cramps as your uterus stretches and pulls and pain in your hips/back/legs as your pelvic floor muscles stretch and your hips widen to support your growing baby. The hormone stays in your system about 4 months after your delivery and until that time, you will probably continue to feel periodic pain. I suggest seeing a massage therapist when it gets terribly bad and using a maternity belt to help support your belly when you get larger. Please visit my VIP site for more tips and feel free to message me if you have any more questions. I'm an RN and mommy.

I am smaller and have had pains ever since I found out I was pregnant. I have done alot of reading on it and found out that it is most liekly caused by the uterus stretching up and out of the pelvis. It puts alot of strain on your other muscles.

sibandtwins - 97 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) 2 most likely causes are your ligaments stretching(i have these all the time)or i heard that it can be the ovary of which your egg came from and thats perfectly normal too, thats what my midwife sed anyways! hope this helps.xx
