Thanks girls...oh, and Skorpy, yes, I get that incredibly 'heavy' abdomen whenever I exercise, as well as very sharp stabbing pains on both sides of my stomach down near my hips...I'm thinking it's the round ligments trying to hold up my bulk!! Haven't had the cracking feeling in my pubic bone, but maybe that's your pelvis widening for bubs. If it hurts, maybe a visit to the OB would calm any anxieties!
