stomach pains during pregnancy

[macy150]

why do i have pains in my stomach just below my ribs.
I have had them now for about a month. I am 5 months now. The pain feels like
muscle spasms. does anyone else have this problem?

I had that same pain at home a lot. My sister,mother of three said the baby head is probably there. Just 4 days ago the pain came back while i was getting a sonogram.The specialist said it was a small contration.How scary was that because im only 5 months.

ahh so thats probably what i felt a few days ago. that makes sense. yes tylenol definitly helped a lot :)

I had that pain as well..  I would get them really bad. It felt like my skin was streching and ripping my muscles. Tylenol is a life saver... Trust me it works. I hope you feel better!

I used to get it all the time with my last pregnancy. The doctor told me that the baby could be laying on a nerve that ends up triggering the pain and spasms.
