I'm 27ish weeks and just today I've been getting really sharp stabbing pains an inch or so below my belly button. They're so sore they make my eyes water. I've had about 4 episodes of it since lunch and they last for about 30s.

Is it a nerve being squashed or stretching pains or something maybe? Baby is moving fine and no other symptoms. It really does hurts though Blush

Could be your stomach muscles separating a bit...

Trapped wind?

Stomach muscles separating?! Pregnancy is weird! Pretty sure it's not wind. Thanks ladies x

I have this exact same issue, started yesterday.... starting to stress a little.

Dr told me today that its your pubis muscles stretching. Im only 21 weeks and its not meant to happen till at least 27+weeks, its because my baby is sat low down/head down.

Thanks Snobble. I have had loads of small jabbing punches low in my bump so maybe he is pressing down a lot at the moment.
