Aches lower stomach?

[sophiad]

Morning all, Happy Monday

Sorry , I know this prob comes up a lot, however I'm 17 weeks with my first. Been feeling a bit more than normal aches down below. Period type pains, been for a couple of days now. Nowhere near unbareable, but can notice it. Could it just be stretching etc? Haven't had any signs of bleeding and had heartbeat checked week before last. Sorry, managing to get myself worried over everything with bubba

Sounds normal to me. The baby books describe a bit of an ache, but it can be rather more than that, and even pretty sharp pains can be perfectly normal. If you're really worried do feel free to give your midwife a call though, it's what they're there for.
