Tuggings

What is tugging sensation in my belly when lifting something?

Im 5 months pregnant now. Anyhow, I have been feeling a very quick obvious tugging, pulling, or yanking sensation inside tummy around my belly button area whenever I lift my 23 pound 18 month child. It seems to happen more whenever im tired, or so it seems. I feel this quick moving/tugging sensation however, on a daily basis and it only happens when I pickup my child... What could this be?

1. my suggestion is to be careful lifting anything light or heavy. Dont take chances if you are pregnant.
2. You are stretching your baby's umbilical cord and it could get wrapped around your baby's neck. Stop lifting your child, have your child climb into your lap, car etc. Take someone with you when grocery shopping or leave child with someone.
3. you shouldn't be lifting anything right now. most especially you are entering your 3rd trimester this time is important in brain, lung, development. i would go to the doc just to make sure nothing is wrong. good luck
