ripping feeling

I've been getting.this ripping or tearing burning.feeling at the top of my baby bump. I'm thinking its just.my muscles separating but not sure. What do you think? It feels like bub is pushing out the top even though its sitting really low.

Yer its a pretty nasty feeling. ***** cause my doc only visits my home town once a week. Otherwise she's in the town ill be delivering in. But I could see my gp I guess don't think he would know much though. Bub still moving like mad and doing its thing so I'm sure everything's ok. :)

Yer its pretty nasty feeling. But it comes and goes. Worse when I've been over doing it. Got a doc appoint in a week ill check in with her then but if it becomes constant ill be trying to see her earlier for sure. Use heaps on the coco butter too but prob not drinking as much water as I should. :)

wow what a feeling.  i bet you are right in that your tummy is just stretching from the growing baby.  top of my tummy will itch sometimes.  I use coco butter every day.  Make sure to drink lots of water to keep your skin stretchy.  You should mention this to your doc to make sure its not something more serious.
