ouch......hope this is normal

hey ladies...so im 21 weeks and consider myself the baby of the bunch since my due date is at the end of the month...i have been having a lot of pain in my stomach but its not cramping...it feels like my belly button is sore from the stretching of the skin and growing baby...at least i hope thats what it is

anytime i go to sit and get up im sore but its not cramping...i wonder if its the heparin injections in my stomach that are making it more sensitive....im a little worried because i have so much further to go and this can be quite painful

does anybody else have this issue? am i correct that its my skin stretching? could be it something worse?

If I get up or twist, I get a pain...but I also get the skin stretching/belly button pain. My skin is painful around my belly button and sometimes on the sides. It's painful to the touch sometimes & my dr said that it's normal, especially if you were pretty thin before.

I get aches in my stomach....usually on one side or the other.  Mine are ligament pains.  If I move a certain way it gets really sore and stays that way for awhile.  Where is your pain in relation to where you do the heparin injections?  It could be they are hitting a series of nerves or it could just be ligament pains.

I have pain when I sit up from laying down or when I twist wrong. I'm pretty sure it's the ligaments stretching from my growing belly.
