ligaments supporting the uterus are stretched along with muscles and connective tissue so sharp or dull pains may be felt -this is normal... this pain isnt you feeling the baby move... your correct that wont be for another month or more... she was saying that the movement of the baby could be jolting the ligaments not meaning that you are actually feeling the baby moving... but my guess would be that its just growing pains...remember your body is changing drastically from what its used to... if this pain starts to follow a pattern or you are concerned that you could possibly be experiencing regular contractions, you need to talk/see to a Dr asap

Ya but at 15 wks with this being my first baby can it really be moving that much I can already tell? I was told it would be at least another 3-5 wks before I would feel anything
