Twinges and so on

**book_lover** · 20-09-2007, 03:36pm

Just curious - does anyone vaguely medical have a clue what causes them?

I have had them in all the usual places such as pelvis, womb, vulva

etc. but now I'm having them in the side of my right ribs

not a moan, it's hardly anything pain wise, just curious!

I aint no Doctor, but I would imagine it's to do with hormones being released to make everything more stretchy. I remember my early stages; parts of my body twinge and stretch that I didn't even know existed

i'm getting them too, dunno what they are but I couldn't half go a bag of chocolate buttons at the moment....

FA that makes a lot of sense!

DC, I just had some choc digestives and a big mug of cold milk

On the whole though I am craving brightly coloured fruit and veg - long may THAT last!

Actually me too - made a lovely veggie pasta dish last night with lots of peppers and courgettes and have scoffed a big bag of red grapes this morning...

MMmmmmm! I may have the same tonight! Have been wondering what to have but we have loads of veg to use up incl some pretty little yellow tomatoes!

I've been having the odd twinge as well

I am sure its just our body preparing itself

I think it is your body releasing hormones to make your ligaments stretch in readiness for your growing bubs.

**book_lover** · 20-09-2007, 05:45pm

Why are hormones so stabby then?

Because all hormones are basically evil and are either stabby or make you do mad things and cry at the drop of a hat.

I felt like I was going to fall apart in the first few weeks this time, I was so rickety

Who know what the pains are, but if you think about how much is changing in there and the speed in which it is happeneing, it is not surprising we feel a few stabbing pains and stretches

Same here, throughout, it's just relaxin being released and the usual growing pains. Since my uterus contains several fibroids, I've been having assorted stabs down there, as well
