    Question Stretching pains

    I have been getting the worst stretching pain lately. I've had them on and off since 13 weeks, but would only get them every few weeks. In the last couple of weeks I have been getting them every day, they are extreamly painful and can last up to 15 - 20 mins, I can't sit down, stand up, walk around, lay down, nothing seems to help.

    So whats my qu you ask.... Is there something I should be doing to ease them??? Should I stretch them out like a stitch or am I best off just sitting and riding it out??

    I remember getting them bad with DD, but don't remember them being quite this bad, or as frequently or for as long as these ones seem to go for.

    Any advise would be much appreciated! TIA

    it is mainly on my right side from my lower belly up until just above my belly button line I guess. I do get it on both sides, but mainly the right for some reason?!

    Can you see a physio just to check it out? I thought the pain i was getting was normal and just from stretching, but my abs are actually separating- and wearing a supportive band holds my tummy together and reduces the pain. It's worth checking out to see if there is somethingb else going on.

    Thank you for your reply. I never thought of seeing a physio, I might just have to look into that. Thank you once again.
