stretching pains....has anyone else noticed this??

Okay, so this will be my 3rd baby and I am 13 weeks. The stretching pains I get very low in belly hurt like crazy!! Sometimes to the point where I just have to lay down and not move. I remember having these pains with my first, but it was never horrible. With my second, somewhere arounf 16 weeks I was in agony for a week, and no one could figure out why, so we chalked it up to ligments stretching. This time around, they feel horrible! I guess I always thought the more babies you have, the easier the pain would be regarding this?? Anyone else notice with more pregnancies it gets worse?? Or am I crazy? =P

When I was pregnant with my son I got those kind of pains but it happened throughout my whole pregnancy. If I sneezed or coughed or turned too quickly or bent over it was like my stomach would cramp up and I felt like dying! It was soooo painful! I'm sorry you're going through this too. You have my sympathy!

Yea it's so strange! It definitely feels worse for me this time, I wonder if maybe it has to do something with the position of the baby maybe? This time around, I have been told the placenta is very low close to my cervix and in front, so it's always hard to find the heart beat and I probably won't feel movements like I did with my other pregnancies for a little while yet. every pregnancy truly is different!

Oh man! With Elijah it wasn't bad at all, if I coughed or sneezed I'd get a sharp pain for a second, but with Aubryana OMG!!! It was a lot worse...I carried her different, and she was head down, so I don't know if that was what made a difference for me...
