			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the common things that happen to pregnant women (I prefer not to use the term &#8216;symptom&#8217;) is that the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_ligament_of_uterus">round ligaments that you never knew you had</a> will protest as they stretch to cover the increasing distance between their points A and B.</p>
<p>I read that it&#8217;s usually a low groin or thigh ache. For a few months (mos. 3-5) I had a really strange sensation just to the left of my belly button. It felt exactly like a beam of sunburn the size of a quarter was being aimed at my belly. (Or, the sensation of being tattooed.) It recently went away.</p>
<p>Now, mirrored on the other side, but still way up high next to my belly button (which is way up high, far from where it lived before), I occasionally get the sensation that someone is poking me gently with a colored pencil.</p>
<p>Strange, that I so specifically recognize the feeling as a colored pencil. There must be something about the sensation that matches some childhood memory of the feeling of sharp colored pencils against the skin.</p>
