Uterus stretching at 12wks?

I have been having a lot more feelings in my uterus lately. I hadn't felt much before but it seems to have picked up in the last week. It's not really painful just a little uncomfortable at times, twinges sort of like cramps but not exactly.

I read in my book about feeling ligaments stretching but that was at 5 months, I am only 3 months (12 weeks). Has anyone else felt these sort of twinges pick up at around 12 weeks? My tummy does seem to be bulging a bit more lately as well, so I'm really hoping it's just my uterus stretching and growing.

Just want to check in and make sure I'm 'normal'.

TIA,

Hi Michelle,
I think this is in the "totally normal" category. I was just reading online (maybe babycenter? not sure on that though) that 11-13 weeks is the first huge uterus growth spurt.
I think what your describing is completely normal!
