3+5 - abdominal 'feeling'

So I know cramping, pulling and stretching are normal around this time. But I just have this sensation that I wouldn't describe as either of those. On the right side of my lower abdomen, I just feel something there, particularly sitting in bed. It's not painful, it's not intermittent, it's just a sensation that something is there. This is normal right?

(When I had a chemical the first symptom was a sharp pain on the same spot, so a bit apprehensive of this sensation in the same location, although it's not a sharp pain)

I had the exact sensation you’re describing. It almost fell like a “full” feeling very low down. I’ll be 20 weeks tomorrow so all was well with me so far after this!

Ah that's reassuring you're so far ahead and everything is fine ☺️ did you have that feeling quite early on and on one side only as well?

Yup! For about a week!

Ah ok, that's good to know, so once I stop feeling it I won't immediately start worrying that something is wrong. Thank you for replying ☺️ and all the best for the rest of pregnancy!

Did you have this feeling before you tested positive girls?

I said to my partner last night my uterus/cervix feels "congested". It's the only word I could find that made sense 😂

I have this same feeling, I'm 4w6d. I also have a pulsing feeling in lower abdomen. I've googled and it's due to increased blood flow shooting to the area. I can feel my own heartbeat down there sometimes.
