pains??

[firsttimemummy]

im 15 weeks pregnant and getting pains in my vagina area, does anyone know what this could be? im getting quite worried about it now, ive made an appointment with the midwife for next week, but i dont know if i can wait that long, I NEED TO KNOW!!
thanks x

It could well be the start of SPD. It can be quite painful.
Or it could just be stretching pains...

whats spd? sorry but this is my first time...dont know much

could you get an appointment with your gp for today?

SPD is pain in the ligaments accross the front of your pubic bone. You'd feel it right at the front, particularly when you spread your legs.

What kind of pains are they? It needn't be SPD; I had achey, dragging pains that were a bit like those I get when I have with my period (but worse!) from about 16 weeks. The midwives told me it was common, either hormonal or to do with the ligaments softening, and nothing to worry about, and although it continued on and off through the pregnancy it didn't get any worse.

If you're really concerned then you should see someone sooner than next week. Give the maternity ward a ring or see your GP.

thanks for the advise but this doesnt sound like what ive got, mines inside my vagina are, and i get a sharp pain now and then, nowhere else just down there

thanks for the advise all...ive just made an appointment to see my gp tomorrow, im really getting myself worked up now

I'm getting similiar sort of pains, sort of knife like and low down? (I'm 16 weeks) I know a nummber of people have had similiar things on the January Antenatal thread.

Would be very interested in what your GP says!

In the meantime I hope you feel better

I spoke to my midwife yesturday and she said its nothing to worry about unless i am getting bleeding with it (which im not )
Its just the normal growing pains of everything stretching and preparing for bubs
