should i be worried?

ldx
I'm 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant and I sometimes feel a sort of pulling on my muscles just at my womb, when I stand up, stretch sometimes even when I cough, this is my first baby and my partner said this doesn't sound normal so I'm just wondering If I should be worried?

Yes, that's normal.  Your uterus is expanding and your muscles are not used to the change.  If you are really concerned ask your doctor.  Just make sure to ease yourself up and down when you stand or sit or sometimes roll over in bed.  You can also put your hand on that spot to brace it when you need to cough or sneeze.
