Please tell me this is normal!

Hi ladies,
In the midst of a mini meltdown here and hoping I’m worrying about nothing.

I’m nearly 17 weeks and all day I’ve been getting these dull aches, just like mild period pains.

Anyone else had this? Is it just stretching or should I contact the midwife?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds perfectly normal to me :) I had the same thing ended up going into triage because I freaked out and was told it was just my muscles and ligaments stretching. Have a bath it'll help :)

I'm going through that now at almost 17 weeks

sounds very normal i agree with previous poster defo try a bath

Normal! It's ligament pain. I had it too everyday, sometimes felt like I was going to come on my period any minute :)

Thanks so much everyone - I’m running a bath as I type this! Its pretty scary because it does feel exactly like period pain.

Pleased I didn’t bother the midwife if it’s normal.... !

Normal .... as are those stabbing pains up your groin 🙄 marvels of pregnancy 😎

Hi! 17 weeks tomorrow and I've had this on and off over the past fortnight! Had my consultant appointment yesterday and they were totally unphazed (sp??). My sister (due tomorrow) also confirmed it's normal. As long as there's no bleeding and it doesn't become properly painful you're alright I think!

At booking in my midwife did say you can't expect to grow a whole human being and not have any symptoms I have to remind myself of that from time to time!

Ha ha, that’s a very good point! I’ll remember that.

Thanks again everyone.

Yer normal sadly... Sometimes I felt like I was being stabbed!! The joys of pregnancy.
