Hey guys, Looks like quite a few of us are suffering from it. Here is a little literature I found on it.

As I gain weight with this pregnancy, my lower abdomen aches sometimes. Is this normal?

It's quite typical. This aching, as opposed to cramping, is usually caused by the stretching of the muscles and ligaments supporting your uterus. You'll probably feel it when you're getting up from a bed or chair, when you cough or when you get out of the bath.

When should I call my doctor or midwife?

Don't hesitate to call any time abdominal aching is accompanied by severe pain or cramping, bleeding, fever, chills, faintness, or vaginal discharge.

What can I do to relieve this discomfort?

Sit down, put your feet up, and relax. When you feel this aching, resting comfortably should alleviate your symptoms. Don't forget, it's a typical complaint of pregnancy, and it gives you an excuse to get off your feet — and even be waited on.
