Sharp pain in the evenings

V.

Hi!

I am 21w 5d. In the last few days I’ve noticed a pattern where around the same time in the late evening (22-23) I get short sharp pains in upper abdomen that increase if I move or even try to take deep breaths through my belly. It’s not in one place, usually in spots all around my belly. It comes and goes, when it finally calms down I feel baby throwing a party in my belly - she is getting very active, so it feels like she is okay - most of the time I don’t feel her that well (I have anterior placenta) except for those moments in the evening after this weird pain. Is this common / related to being bloated in the evening?

I am not bleeding, have no pains in lower abdomen and it goes away, so I am assuming this is related to everything stretching due to baby’s growth, but today it was REALLY painful, so I thought I would ask to not feel alone with this. I am going to ask my midwife about it but I still have a few weeks until my next appointment.
