Stomach pains

I am 25+5 first baby.
I don't know whether to be worried or not... I have been having pains in my groin on and off today. The pains can be quite sharp but go off again. I'm also getting pains in my stomach which are more crampy like a stitch. I called the midwife today who seemed fairly dismissive and suggested I take paracetamol and that it was probably normal from stretching etc. she said to call the hospital if it gets any worse. Well 3 hours later it hasn't got any worse but hasn't gone and I'm not sure what to do. I didn't take any paracetamol as I don't really like to take anything. Should I be more concerned and call the hospital?

Hi, I'm 24 weeks (3rd baby) and I've had this with all 3. I'm pretty sure it's the the baby getting bigger and the odd limb that gets stuck in a certain position, can feel like quite a strong stitch like pain? Is it something like that?

I posted about pins yesterday, it stretching - however, always check just to be safe. Can you book to see someone on Monday?

I don't know if it feels like that to be honest, just feels like a pain in my stomach. I can feel him moving around still with the occasional kick.
