    anyone know what this is?

    Hi
    a couple of times during this pg i've had strange sensations across my belly, the best way to describe it is like someone had stretched a wide rubber band across it from the top of the bump to my pubic bone then snapped it against my tummy! It's not overly painful, but gives me quite a start with no lasting effects. It happens out of the blue, last night when i was just sitting there!
    Anyone had this, or know what it is? i never had it in any other pgs
    TIA

    so is it on the skin surface or deeper? is it when you're moving or just randomly?
    I've been getting a sort of sore skin around my belly button that sometimes hurts when I move. I figured it was just stretched tender skin.
    I have also had some stinging a bit deeper when I move, which I assumed was tendons or even my stomach muscles separating.

    My Ob said "you'll feel a hundred strange things that you've never felt before and unless you're in labour or bleeding, they're all normal!"

    Is it inside? Sort of like a shooting pain?? Could be bubs on a nerve.

    that could be it Heaven, it is on the inside, but doesn't feel like it's in my uterus IYKWIM, just happens suddenly and i haven't been moving when it's happened, just standing or sitting still.
    it's very true Lozzy, you feel all sorts of weird stuff, even tho i've done this before each time is different!
    The feeling doesn't make me feel worried, so i hope my intuition would kick in if it was serious! just wondered what it could be as i haven't felt it before
    Thanks
