Mum2Maddie, its a normal thing to happen. I get it too, its the tightening and stretching of the lower stomach muscles and ligaments. Its the same muscles that can pull out of alignment if you lift something way too heavy, and get a hernia. When you have to sneeze or blow your nose, bend your waist, curling your tummy up. It doesn't hurt that way.

GothMum, that totally sucks! My DF just quit his job because his boss personally doesn't like him, so reduced his hours to less than 8 a week. Which is so unfair! Now we're both looking for work, with a baby on the way. Sigh, oh well, things will come good soon.
