Stomach Pains

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced any stomach pains in the middle of the stomach near the belly button. I am 21 weeks pregnant and I had a real bad upper recep. infection this week. My stomach is so sore that it's hard for me to get on & off the couch, in & out of bed and walking even hurts a little.

My Dr said I could have strained it from coughing or it could be growing pains. On top of it I have been getting some gas pains. I hope it gets all better soon. Everyday it's a little better but it's real hard getting out of bed in the morning because it really hurts.

The Dr. also gave me an internal to double check I wasn't in early labor.

I never heard of anyone else having this so I was just wondering if anyone else ever felt this way. Your help would be really appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

I had strange 'belly button pains' for about a week or so around my 20th week but nothing that bad....

Hope you feel better soon!!

Thanks - It hurt a lot last night when I went to bed. It's hard to sleep but today it feels much better. I'll be happy when it's all better.

I guess I just pulled a muscle and that takes time to heal.
