Stretching feelings

I'm 10+4 today, had a scan last week and everything was fine. Last couple of days I have been having some feelings low down, it's not cramping like AF it just feels like things are stretching I suppose. I read in my book that the baby grows rapidly now so I'm presuming this is normal-suppose I just want some reassurance that it's normal!! It's not painful and I do remember these feelings early on! Any reassurance appreciated!!

dw just before i got to 12weeks i had bad pains and was ill and got told to go hospital to check i was ok as i thought i would misscarry (im a cronic over worrier) the nurse there was a week ahead of me and said she thought i would be fine and that it is jsut stretching coz she had the same!
Im 29weeks and all is fine, you get the stretching thru out tho, but it will be ok.
if it is very bad, gets worse or more constant and you are personally worried, just ring nhs direct or your doc or midwife or go a&e, better safe and sorry.
when i was at the hospital the lady said to me that miscarriages are there for a reason. the cells that are made up just arent right, if the baby was to be born and miscarriages didnt happen they would be born deaf and mute and blind or paralyzed etc and it isnt your fault and she referred to it as cells. i found comfort in that a little because she is right. miscarriages are no ones fault and the body does them for a reason. but i am sure you and your baby will be fine x
