Weird Abdominal Discomfort..........Normal????
All day today I've had a little abdominal discomfort. For lack of a better description it feels like I have a giant crampy, gas bubble all along the lower part of my abdomen. Sorry TMI, but I've gone to the bathroom multiple times but it's not giving me much relief. I'm not overly concerned with the baby since I had my Level II yesterday and everything was perfectly fine but it's an annoying discomfort and I was wondering if it's related to the baby's position or something else. Any ideas?? Similar experiences?? Thanks!! 
Edit: I am 22 weeks along.

Re: Weird Abdominal Discomfort..........Normal????
round ligament pains?
It feels like cramping or pulling by one hip or the other... or at the bikini line. It usually happens when you are moving around..... google it, and see if that could be it. I started getting them at around 19 weeks.....

Doesn't feel like round ligament pain. I've had that off and on throughout the 2nd tri so I know what that feels like. This is more of a "cramp" feeling right above my bikini line all across my lower abdomen. It's very annoying!!

I am having that the past 2 days myself. I am thinking it is the way the baby is sitting. Since I was just at the dr and all was fine.

Re: Weird Abdominal Discomfort..........Normal????
I've had something similar a few times in the past few days. I was thinking it was maybe braxton hicks. It's not painful like the round ligament pains that I was having a week or so ago. It's like my stomach feels tight for a second and then feels normal. I'll be asking my Dr. about it at my appt next week.

I don't think it's Braxton Hicks because it's down low and consistent. It started happening as the pelvic pain (from my pelvis starting to shift apart) stopped. Now I am also pee'ing at least every hour and on ocassion 2X/hour. It's crazy!!! Could it just be the baby's position that is giving me grief? I called the Dr. office but the nurse hasn't called me back yet. I'm sure it's nothing but it's awfully uncomfortable when I go from a sitting to a standing position.
