throbbing

[IsabelleCanada]

I have been feeling very strange lately; the most annoying symptom is that I feel like a heartbeat or throbbing right behing my pubic bone. I get it 3-5 times a day and it lasts around 5minutes every time.

Is that normal? Should I be concerned?

Thanks for your posts ladies! I guess I shouldn't worry so much about every little thing... it's just that lately, I'm hearing all these horror stories about babies being born with the cord around their necks or terrible stuff like that... I keep thinking that everything was perfect the first time around, when my son was born, so I'm almost expecting something terrible to happen the second time, as if that would make sense...

LOL!!  you guys are so cute, it's so nice to hear things from the first-timers like this, it makes it all so new again!  

Welcome to the wonderful world of hiccups.  The bigger the baby gets, the stronger you will feel them, and the more "all over" you will feel them.  You may even find them annoying after a while.  Just enjoy them and take it as a sign that your baby is doing great and all is well :-)

I'm feeling the exact same thing! I was hoping that it was just normal! This is my first time too, so like ladybug i figured it's the baby causing commotion inside my tummy.

Well, honey if you should be concerned, then I guess I should be too.  I'm a first timer, so alot of what I feel I just assume is normal.   I have had what you are talking about for about 3 weeks lately.  Its really low and sort of throbbing - - - I just assume it is baby causing some sort of muscle spasm or something.   Most of the time when I get it - it makes me feel like I have to go to the bathroom (tinkle) right after that.  Mine don't last for 5 minutes though - probably 2 or 3 minutes at the longest.  Keep us posted.
I'm interested to see what everyone else says.

Oh, and read my post I just posted ( :-) if you don't mind) about baby movement.  Have you had anything like that?
