Hi,
Im weeks preg and experiencing a achy feeling low down in my bump. It feels almost like a heavy period but comes and goes.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

Are you OK kbaby? It's just that I've noticed you started the show thread too.

Yes sorry to get you worried. This is my first baby and ive had so many complications I think its making me paranoid. I started having contractions at 23 weeks which subsided with no dilation of my cervix. But im still getting a few each evening. The midwifes and doctors havent really provided an answer other than 'its one of those things' Because of what has happened I havent been able to relax and each ache or unusual feeling I get I take as a sign that something may be going wrong, and im on the look out all the time for early labour signs. I know its silly and its probably just from the uterus stretching etc but it worries me. I never realised that being pregnant would make me so anxious(excuse the spelling, having a brain dead moment)
Thanks Kbaby

Thanks Twiglet, The hospital have been very good and have told me to call if needed but I just feel so stupid asking silly questions that are probably just me being paranoid.
Thanks again

I seem to remember having this and it was explained as ligament pain. HTH and that you are soon feeling better.

Thanks everyone. Im trying to calm down and stop stressing out. I have to think nice, happy thoughts or this baby will come out as anxious as its mum!!
