A member asked:

I'm 19 weeks preganant and i notice that whenever i do simple things that involve my stomach muscles, i recieve a sharp cramp.. is this normal?

Muscle twinges: Your abdominal muscles are being stretched in ways they have not been asked to before. You don't even have to be doing something and can feel those sharp, sudden twinges. As long as they are not prolonged or crampy, you are fine. Just another sign that your baby is growing well and working on getting the house bigger!
