A member asked:

I streched during a sleep very hard i could feel my muscle streching under my belly, almost12 weeks pregnant , should i worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: The uterus is well-protected behind the pubic bone at this point. It's behind all of your abdominal muscles and shouldn't be affected. As long as you aren't experiencing severe cramping or bleeding, you are probably ok.
