Q: Vaginal twinges
asked by: _tanya_ on June 18th, 2008
Experienced User
This might be kind of a weird question but does anyone have any kind of twinges "down there". I'm 14 weeks now and it just started yesterday but i notice along with the round ligament pain I often get some twinges down there. They aren't painful, more of like a light pulling sensation.
Anyone else experienced this?

Edited to add: I put they are painful but they aren't

Thanks so much for responding.

I'm ridiculously paranoid lol I kept saying when i made it to 3 months i wouldn't worry as much anymore but theres always something new to worry about.

Glad i'm not the only one, and they are weird and uncomfortable. I get it alot at work because im getting up out of my chair every 5 seconds

i get those too!! I asked my dr. yesterday about them and she said its perfectly normal. I also get a sharp pain in my lower stomach area and she said as long as there is no bleeding that is just everything moving down there to make room for baby. She said your organs and everything move to make room!! I didnt know that!!

Thanks so much Trijos Smile

We're just a few days apart so i'm glad to know your feeling them as well. I was worries it was my cervix dialating or something weird like that (i come up with wayy too many things in my head lol). My mom said the same thing, that everything is stretching and being pushed around by the growing uterus so your bound to feel weird and uncomfortable sensations. I'm going to ask her tomorrow just to hear it from her but like I said its nice to know its normal.
I'm really hoping if i ever get pregnant again I can actually slow down and enjoy it and not panic at every little thing!

I'm 23 weeks and right now I get those because my baby's feet are down there! I also get it from him rubbing against/hitting nerve endings. Especially a shooting pain from my belly button all the way down. There's a nerve RIGHT there and you can usually feel the same sort of pain if you push your belly button in.
