Weird ‘pulling muscle’ feeling

I’m 6+5 and all going well - no sickness etc. Yet (in fact I barely feel any different apart from period type cramps in the late afternoon!) but I keep getting this sensation in my lower abdomen on both sides like I’m pulling or ripping a muscle. It mainly happens when I move too quickly or cough and has taken my breath away a couple of times. Is this normal? Or has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

Round ligament pain. As soon as you are pregnant your ligaments start relaxing, totally normal and will probably happen quite often. I get it a lot when turning over at night.

I'm 8+3 today and felt this all last night and this morning, so uncomfortable. I'm pretty sure I had this I'm my first pregnancy though, so not worrying over it x
