Is this ligament pain?

Hi there,
Every night for the last couple of nights, I've been waking up feeling really uncomfortable. I keep having really dull, stretchy aches on both sides of my bump. I've had it on and off but I've been experiencing it a lot these couple of days. It's not a short burst and lasts for ages. When I move around, it eases but it means that if I wake up, I'm awake for ages. I'm 16+1 and ballooning. Is this normal? Any advice? X

Bumping, as I'm in the same boat!

Glad I'm not alone, I must admit, it settled down yesterday when I was up and about but seems to come back when I'm lay down x

Sounds like it! My health authority did these great group sessions that taught us how to walk / sit / lie down which really helped. I would mention it to your midwife - by phone if it's really bad.
