Aches in the baby area

[smoggii]

Hi all,

1st time mum to be so everything is new and I apologise if the answer to this is really obvious.

I am 27+6 and for the past few days i have had aches on both sides of my baby bump, feel a bit like a muscle strain after exercise and not painful just uncomfortable. Some lower back pain but nothing too bad.

I'm still getting fairly frequent baby movements and I've no other illness symptoms.

Is this just the baby growing? or should I be worried.

Thanks in advance for your advice

Hi smoggli, I've been getting similar pains but only in my right side, strangely! From everything I have read it's just the muscles/ligaments stretching but if you're worried perhaps give your midwife a call?
