Thanks so much for responding. You have made me feel so much better. I
have also felt what you felt - the "stitches", but without the exercise!
I thought for sure something was wrong. I just felt because I was only
5 weeks that I couldn't be stretching yet - although, I was 3 months
along when I miscarried the last time, and they say your uterus
stretches easier the second time. Anyway, thanks so much, again - I can
at least sleep tonight! (I'm a worrier!!!)
