29 weeks and sharp tummy pains

[Chelsea91]

Hi all I'm 29 weeks and last night and this morning I have been having sharp stabbing pains in my lower tummy and down below, baby has still been moving as normal but does anyone no what this could be as its quite painfull. They come and go as soon as they start really.

Only advice I can give is ring the midwives, I rang them at least once a week when I was pregnant and found them really helpful, can't give anymore advice than that because I don't know enough but hopefully this will bump for you until someone more helpful comes along

Hi I'm also 29 weeks and had exactly the same symptoms as you last week but with a lot of hip pain too. I rang the midwife and ended up going in to be checked out. She said its completely normal and was a combination of stretching pains in my hips and mild brackston hicks but I did the right thing by calling them as i was worried. Hope that puts your mind at rest but do call if you feel you need to.

yes, please phone your midwives. there should be an out of hours number on your notes.

I have similar at 28+4. I think mine is more a muscle strain if that makes any sense. Never any harm in getting it checked out.

I'm 28 +6 and had the same thing yesterday afternoon/evening and this morning. I had repeated really sharp twinges in exactly the same place at the bottom of my bump and just to the left.

I called the out of hours midwife number and the person I spoke to was lovely and reassured me that it was fine to call whenever I was concerned. She said it didn't sound like anything to worry about as baby was/is still moving normally and was most likely ligaments stretching. She told me to call back if it got any worse or changed.

I don't know what you've been up to this weekend but she also asked what I'd been doing and when I said I'd spent a good few hours of the day sitting in the car in motorway traffic she said that could well have contributed to it as it can be related to posture and sitting in the car for long periods is really not ideal.
