That's it really. Second pregnancy. Very mild. No bleeding. On and off this evening and last. Also been having the odd twinge that feels like ovulation pain. Both really very mild. Hoping its just ligaments stretching and my CS scar. What does anyone else think?

Sounds like round ligament pain, I had this occasionally in first trimester. If you are worried, go to your hospital's early pregnancy unit and ask for a scan to check all is ok, I was told that as long as it's not accompanied by bleeding or intense sharp pain it's probably nothing to worry about, but can always go to put your mind at rest

Sounds like ligaments stretching to me, I've also had this during this pregnancy. fwiw I've also had a MC and the pain from that was excruciating, so intense that when it first started I couldn't move. So long as the pain doesn't become really intense or accompanied by bleeding then I would try not to worry about it too much (easier said than done I know).

thanks ladies. the pain is so minor and so on and off, and there has been absolutely no bleeding, so I'm not going to drive myself wild with worry over it. I assume as this is 2nd time round all the tissues are bit softer to start with so less able to resist the stretching. dizzy so sorry about your MC, reassurances from women who have actually been through it sort of put my mind at rest more than anything else. Bizarrely I just felt something that felt just like a baby moving, but it has to be way too early and just wind!! I might give EPU a ring if it carries on.
