Weird Pain Around Upper Abs?

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.  I have a midwife appointment anyways on Wednesday so I ask about it then too.

If I am sitting to long I get this weird 'streched out' pain right about where the upper abs are.  It goes all the way across my belly from left to right and it's very uncomfortable.  So far the only thing that seems to help is just get up and move while rubbing it or to lay down on my back.  I forsee this as being a problem at work and was wondering if you may know any other suggestions that could help.

I think I have something similar - it started out as random numbness at the top of my belly and now feels really sore sometimes, like everything is stretching.  Unfortunately I don't really have any other suggestions as to how to alleviate it yet.

I had it too, except my centralized right in the middle for the most part. When my mw asked if I had any pains, I mentioned it and she said that most women have pain there. Gotta think about it, our bodies are doing some MAJOR shifting and stretching and growing... Its not all going to be unnoticeable, we are going to feel uncomfortable from time to time. It's all worth it in the end!

I think this is the same thing I have.. mine will fill really hard once I stand up and it feels like pressure. I asked my dr and he said it's my stuff moving around for the baby and when I sit everything is just kinda smooshed together. He said it's normal.

hope everything is ok with you  as well!

I'm glad you posted this question. I was beginning to think something was wrong with me. I've also recently been experiencing this pain, especially when I sit and sometimes when I lay flat on my back. The pain is directly underneath the center of my breast bone and stretches across (left to right) and also feels really hard. The other day it was a constant pain that lasted for a few hours.  I was planning to ask my OB at my next appt.

This is exactly how mine has been feeling too. I am going to the doctor tomorrow so I am going to ask about it then.
