Achy lower belly 17 weeks - worried!

[SianNic]

For the last 3 days I have had a constant dull ache in my lower belly which is starting to bother me :( am 17 weeks at the mo. it almost feels like I'm about to have diarrhoea (sorry!) but my bowels are fine so really don't think it's anything like that. It's not like any other pain I have had so far, sometimes I an feeling really heavy down below too. Any ideas? Have an appt with the consultant on tues so I will obviously ask her then but just wondered if anyone else had experience anything similar? Thanks x

Is this your first baby? Sometimes in second third etc pregnancies the stomach muscles aren't as strong and you feel really heavy. Had it in my second pregnancy :( hope your ok :(

It's my second baby, not round ligament pain as I know exactly what that feels like as it kills me every time I sneeze, cough, move etc! Unfortunately I have now had some spotting this evening although have felt a bit of movement since eating dinner. Going to the midwife drop in the morning I think or I won't relax....not that I will anyway! I hate pregnancy, it's just so stressful :(

Hope everythings ok!!!! X

How are you feeling today? :) hope it goes ok when you go to clinic x

Hi all, saw midwife today and heard bumps hb, no more spotting touch wood so just keeping an eye on things but could be a water infection 'brewing'. Will be glad when baby starts proper kicking for a bit more reassurance! Thanks for support :)

:) so pleased you and baby r ok!!!!
