Since getting my BFP, I've had practically no symptoms at all...however, starting last night, I have definitely uterus pulling sensation...its not **very** noticeable (if a pain scale was 1-10, its about a 2), but its been prett continual all day...with a few sharper little pains (maybe 2-5 seconds long)...

Do you think that this is just the uterus growing for baby (I was 9 weeks yesterday)...or something that I should be concerned about...

Again, it isnt really painful at all, just noticeable - and different...

THANK YOU LADIES!! I've had such an easy time of it so far, its just weird having any type of sensation down there - even though in my mind - I KNOW that something is definitely going on down there

Haha, Tonya, I know you're secretly loving the little aches and pains you are finally feeling! You know full well that all the discomfort just means body is making a baby, and that makes it all worthwhile.

I agree, sounds totally normal. I had stretching pulling pains even before getting my BFP (at 5 weeks, 1 day), along with menstrual type cramping.

LOL - Rachel - you must know me too well...except for stressing that it might not be "normal"...I'm absolutely LOVING every ache and pain...haa!!

Now, ask me in 3 months how much I'm loving tailbone issues and I might have a different answer

But, of course, I got absolutely nothing again today...

You're so funny, I keep wondering how anyone could ever want to feel pain or sick for any reason.......your exception is if it means having a beautiful baby! I know I get crampy feelings every day..... since day one. My mom thought I was weird but it's totally normal. At first it reminded me of period cramps, but now it's more like stretching twinges. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable, but since it's normal I try not to worry about it.
