Pulling tugging sensation at 17 weeks

[Markygirl1995]

I have had the weirdest pulling feeling today from standing up like I’d imagine pulling strings would be like in a weird way or baby moving but tugging or stretching is anyone else getting this gives me clammy hands

I had this it had me incredibly worried but I'm still going strong at 22 weeks now.

Did mention it to the midwife at the time who said it was all pretty normal and didn't seem concerned. Maybe you could mention it at your next check up?

@zozozoo it's gone today which makes me worry a little I'm sure I'm fine just very odd!

You're going to be absolutely fine, don't worry. You're at a stage where baby is doubling in size ever other day - that won't come without aches and pains. Think of it like someone blowing up a balloon inside of you. You're going to stretch out and with that will come the oddest sensations.

I'm almost 18 weeks and every day comes with a new tug/stretch/ache/crawling sensation. I've got to remind myself that i'm growing a human and it's all normal! :)

Where is the pulling? If it is low down then it is probably your round ligaments stretching. I usually get pain with it but I guess if it's only a slight stretch then it would just feel like pulling. It will come and go for the next few weeks I think.

I woke up with a weird feeling of pressure near my belly button. I think that was my uterus moving further up. It's a constant guessing game trying to work out what's going on inside us!

Thanks ladies made me feel much better, not had anything today which worries me I'm sure each day is different! Stress probably hasn't helped today either
