lower abdominal pain?

I'm 18 weeks 4 days pregnant with baby boy #2 and I've been having some pain in my lower abdomen. My baby is still moving around as usual so I'm pretty sure its growing pains. I was wondering if any of you ladies have had these growing pains and how long (hours, days) it lasted?

I get them occasionally... They come and go and last for a few seconds to a few minutes.  Sometimes the areas just feel sore... Like I was doing a crap ton of sit ups.  I do prenatal yoga though and every week for a few days after class the pains aren't as intense... I guess from all the stretching & strength & flexibility exercises.

This is ny first pregnancy.  I'm 18+3.
