Congratulations Meggle!
Could they be twinges as your pelvic ligaments start relaxing a little, or are they stronger than that?
I do recall actually feeling the implantation with dd, it was quite uncomfortable for a day or so. Could that be a possibility?
am really hoping all is well for you

it's a while ago, but i did have these too, was told it was normal but can't remember exactly why.

i had these with my first 2 ds's. they are both fine and very very lively!!!! dont worry, lots of ppl have this.

Hi I had period pain type pains until I was about 24 weeks, and apparantely they are normal- just your uterus and ligaments streching. Good Luck

Hi Megglevache.

I'm newly pregnant too (BFP on Saturday, TTC chart indicates I'm only 4 weeks at present) and I've also been experiencing cramping type pains and lower back ache. As I can't get an appointment with my GP to either confirm my pregnancy or ask about the cramps until next week, I've been doing a bit of internet researching! It's not unusual to experience cramping pains - as others have said, they could be caused by implantation or yourt ligaments stretching and relaxing. As soon as I started reading about this, I remembered feeling the same way in my previous pregnancies, just at later stages.

I know it's easy for me to say "don't worry" so, if you need some extra reassurance, you could ask your GP or perhaps a community midwife for advice.

Last (but certainly not least) congratulations!!!
