Achy bump

I am fourteen weeks today and for a few days my bump (if you can even call it thatWink ) has ached on and off, like a pulled muscle feeling. It's not muscular pain as it isn't constant and doesn't depend on how I move. Is this just baby growing? Is this ok?

I had that at a few stages through my pregnancy, I phoned NHS 24 and was put through to my local mat triage. The lovely MW asked a few questions then said it was everything growing and stretching and to take some paracetamol and go to sleep. I did and the next day it was fine :) Maybe phone yours to put your mind at rest?

Yep can totally sympathise Hmm and it only get worse the bigger you get. I'm 32 weeks and if I don't sit in a proper chair the sides of my bump get so, so achey and it gets very hard and uncomfortable. Same goes if I have to drive for a long time too now

Mine aches each time, I can't get comfortable unless I'm wearing one of those (very attractive) bump support bands, they make all the difference imo. A bit like this sort of thing

Thanks so much, you wonderful people. You never fail to reassure me and I'm so grateful xx
