Stretching pains in second pregnancy

[MmmMalbec]

I'm only about 4+5 with DC2 and I feel like I've been having stretching pains already. Has anyone else experienced it so early on?

Anyone?!

I had none with my first and second pregnancy but now with my 3rd I get them. Not as early as you though. Started from around 12+ weeks

I had these with my second pregnancy too but later around 14+ weeks.

Yeah that makes sense for round ligament pain at those kind of stages. So I'm wondering if it's something different. I hate these early stages of pregnancy!

Thanks for replying

I'm only 10 weeks through with my second but was feeling what I can only describe as stretching pains from around 5 weeks

That's good to know lockie. Congratulations on your pregnancy

I got this around 8/9 weeks. also stretching pain around c section scar.

Congrats.... I've just got my positive too . I've had these weird stretchy pains and my bum aches loads ?! I feel pregnant that's for sure haha

Thanks Mmm you too I'm definitely feeling everything much more intensely this time!

Yes, unfortunately followed by SPD like a fucker.

I had some awful pains at 4-6 weeks pregnant. Doubled over and in agony wondering how the hell I was going to do labour! I didn't realise at the time but my H thought I was misscarrying,oddly It never crossed my mind. I guess it was stretching or something.

Thanks everyone. I really hope it's not a sign of SPD 😱

I guess there's just so much going on at this stage there's no wonder we get strange feelings!

Congratulations Lauren

I not saying it necessarily is, but keep an eye on it so you can get an early referral to physio if so.

Will do, thanks

Possibly implantation pains?

What are stretching pains? I keep having bad cramp like pain around my entire middle at various times. Is that the same? Only 8 weeks along

Thanks huni yeh I'm super excited I've been having weird cramps though like I'm going to get my af?

I'm 5+5 and have been getting definite ligament/stretching aches for the last week or so (it was one of the things that made me realise I might be pregnant as I hadn't felt them since my first pregnancy, although a lot later on). They come and go but there's no mistaking what they are.

Will also be keeping an eye out for SPD and crossing my fingers!

Yeah I thought maybe implantation pains Only, seems a bit early for stretching really. I'm not sure about your pains Haich but at 8 week it could well be your uterus expanding. Cramps are also normal early on Lauren, as long as there's no bleeding. It's a stressful time waiting for that first scan!

Am 4+4 with #4 and have been having stretching pains since day my period was due. Different to period pains: duller and more stretchy (!). Can't remember how early I felt them with previous pregnancies but would have thought they were a good sign rather than anything ominous...bean is getting nicely settled in!

That's interesting Zig, thanks for your reply. Hopefully it's not a sign of SPD for either of us though. No idea how I'd manage that and a toddler!!! Congratulations on your BFP!

Thanks to you too Rice, a friend said to me it could be a good sign! 4 kids, wow!!! Congratulations

Congrats to you Malbec!

I had awful pains around my c section scar from about 6 weeks until 16ish. It felt like the scarring on the inside was stretching and I was convinced that it had to be a uti for week. 33 weeks now and haven't had the same pain since.

Just remembered and adding it here to hopefully reassure someone.. with #1 at around 20wks i was up all night once with awful awful pains all night long. Was convinced I was losing the baby. Next day I felt like I'd done loads of major ab workouts-could hardly get out of bed it was so sore. Was just stretching but was so crazy strong...
