I'm about 6 weeks pregnant with DC2.

Already feeling muscular twinges in my abdomen if I twist a certain way or move too quickly - similar to what I had in later stages of first pregnancy.

Is this normal for a 2nd pregnancy? I'm not sure if my core / muscles are just shot to pieces from DC1!

I’m 6 + 2 and have also been getting this. I gather from reading that getting that stretching feeling earlier is normal but you’ve described in a way that feels quite familiar, it’s less of a stretch, more a twinge. It’s almost like elastic bands being pinged on my tummy 😆

Riiight, twinges.
Such a wierd feeling, I'll be honest I got scared when I first felt that.

Glad it's not just me, I was freaking a bit! Already feeling huge but I'm assuming it's mainly bloat.
