Can't straighten out

Is it normal to not be able to straighten your body? When I stand I feel like I have to slouch and bend my knees, and when I lay down I have to curl up in the fetal position or I get these horrid cramps in my hips and tummy. Should I change my stretches to make it easier to straighten up? Or is it just a phase?

I think it was just a growth spurt and I was uncomfortable. I can stretch pain free now! Thanks  Lisaerin!

I don't know if its normal to not be able to straighten out when pregnant...I sleep and if I lay on the couch I am always in the fetal position just bc its so much more comfortable on my hips and back. Bump! :)
