Pinching when getting up.

I'm 23 weeks and nobody knows what I am talking about but, if I get up too fast or tighten my stomach really fast while getting up I get this pinching feeling on my stomach where the baby is and its making me worried. Is this normal? Has anybody else had this happen?

I actually just went to the er for this a few days ago. They told me the same thing its a ligament pull it happens must during 20-30 weeks from stretching. They told me to just take it easy and take Tylenol for pain. I had low blood pressure so I felt like I was passing out that's why I went to the er very scary.

Okay. Thank you guys. I've been wondering what it was. I didn't know if it was something I should bring up with my doctor or if it was nothing serious.

I have not experienced that feeling but just try to go easy on the body. Roll over to get up and try not to use a lot of ab muscle. Sometimes when I try to get up using my ab muscle my stomach flattens on both sides and my stomach looks like a cone.
