upper abdomen stretching

I will be 12 weeks tomorrow and all day i have felt a stretching in my upper abdomen.  Its not painful but its pretty constant. Any idea what's going on here?? Thanks!

Mine is very painful! I only feel better when I lay down in bed, and when I exercize at the swimming pool. I'm 28 weeks and I've been suffering for 2 months.The stretching always starts below my brest over the stomach at the center, it's not painful at the beginning but if I don't lay down it moves to the left of my stomach and it gets more and more painful, it often extends to my back!

Your so lucky. Lol mine is painful. Round ligament pain they call it? It feels like side stiches in the front above my belly button!

Your baby n so os everything around ir baby is getting bigger n so ur stomach is stretching. I'm 14 weeks n I've been feeling the same thing. This is my first pregnacy also. But I've asked a lot of questions. We will feel this during the entire pregnacy. Yes it will get annoying especially because its ur first. I've already been annoyed with it. I can mainly feel my stretching when going to bed. N sometimes it keeps me up late. Walking helps if ur getting annoyed with the stretching.
