I got a very bad ache when my DS moved lower down. Can you still feel kicks? Have you lost any fluid/blood? Is it coming and going or getting worse if you are worried ring your ooh or your hospital (midwife dept) or NHS direct.

Midwives are always happy to help out if you're concerned. Don't sit there feeling worried, give them a call, and if they think you need to they'll ask you to come in to be checked. It sounds like just the normal aches and pains to me, but always get checked if you're worried.

Sounds like it could be round ligament pain. Does it happen if you make sudden movement like going to turn over in bed?

Ring your midwife and discuss it with them. I had pains at 27 weeks with DC1 and they got me in for monitoring straight away. Turned out to be nothing and the dr I saw said unexplained pains were very common, but always to get them checked out. They really would prefer to monitor a healthy baby than miss something.

Yes space21 it does happen when i make a sudden movement

That link might help explain it. I get it alot. But as others have posted - get checked out by your midwife if you are worried.
