Odd bump muscle pain

[kemosabeimalone]

I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my 3rd but there is an 8 year gap since I was pregnant - I’m also a bit ancient at 47. I honestly can’t remember if I had this in my other pregnancies but when I engage my tummy muscles at the moment (like when I bend down for something or roll over in bed) I often feel this uncomfortable feeling in the muscles In my uterus. It feels like the muscle has been twisted and pinged back again or like a rubber ball being depressed and then popping back into shape.

I’m fairly fit - I run a few times a week but I must admit I don’t do much ab work. Is this normal?!

I've had this as well on the odd occasion, all the way along. My midwife said not to worry as there is a lot of stretching going on! Maybe mention it to yours too, to put your mind at rest.

Oh thank you - good to know I’m
not alone in experiencing this and that it’s not likely anything to worry about. Hope you have a wonderful rest of pregnancy and birth. X
