Hi ladies,
So im 21 weeks today and last night i woke with pains when i shifted in bed. Mostly on my left side. Ive since got up and when i move i feel really uncomfortable. Like a sharp pain. Ive felt him kicking this morning so think hes ok, just wondered if this sounds like growing pains to u?

Hiya lozzy I am only 14 weeks but I have been getting these stitch pains for weeks now! Especially rolling over in bed it will take my breath away and I will have to slowly adjust! I'm sure it is normal :)

Sounds like round ligaments stretching and complaining especially as you are so relaxed when you move and they twinge ... hurts a lot but should ease once you are comfy and rested a wee bit ... If it doesn't ease then see your midwife but it does sound very much like stretchy growing pulling pain on the ligaments :)

It does sound like the ligaments stretching - I used to worry about every little ache but I'm so used to it now - your poor body goes through a lot when pregnant!
