Ripping Feeling?

I have this feeling in my right abdomen that feels like somethin is ripping or tearing. It happens every blue moon like if I stretch my arm above my head or turn over too fast. Its painless & my baby girl moves a lot. I heard that it could be muscle separation or ligament pain and that's more reassuring than tha thought of my placenta detaching but I'm not having any of those symptoms. I'm from tha 18-25 group and I really didn't get as much help over there. I left a msg for my Dr to call me in tha a.m. cus my next appt isn't until a wk in a half. Anyone know what Im talking abt and can help ease my worried mind?

Definitly sounds like round ligament pain.  It can be awful when it happens and does feel like ripping.

I have the same type of feeling/pain, no worries its most likely just stretching pains from what my Dr. Says i've had it with all 5 of my pregnancies and everything was fine. Hope this may have helped good luck.

If it was a Placental abruption (when the placenta seperates) there would be bleeding for sure. I had one with my second son and had blood running down my legs. But it sounds like the muscles and skin are stretching. It feels like ripping because it is. On a very small level. Should be fine. If the pain gets to be to bad you can take Tylenol for some relief. Hope this helps. :)
