Hi Mummy,

I had a similar feeling recently. Mine was a pain from my belly button to the right side of my body and very tender. I found I just had to stop lifting / doing anything strenuous at the time- there was still a general soreness there when I wasn't exercising the area, but much easier to deal with than that shooting pain when lifting, etc.

It ended up going away on its own before my next midwife appointment, so it wasn't too bad. I mentioned it to my midwife and she said it was most likely the stomach muscles pulling apart and that they were probably a bit unstable at the time, but had now stabilised.

Obviously you're further along than what I was, but maybe its a similar thing.
