12 weeks, pains in vagina/bum cheeks

[Noonlitt]

Sorry tmi, but it feels like I've got really bad lower back ache stretching into my bum, really sore. I also keep getting quick shooting pains sort of like spasms in my vagina. I googled it and saw a lot of stuff about miscarriage and now I'm petrified. Are these just normal aches/pains or are they a bad sign?

Anyone xx

Arghh :(

It might be sciatica, that causes lower back pain and shooting pains and is quite normal in pregnancy, especially early pregnancy.

I was going to say Sciatica too. Your body is changing a lot right now to accommodate for the growing baby and your body prepares for labour months in advance also. It's can be more painful for some than others so I would try not to think the worst at this point and mention it to your midwife. I've been really surprised at how much just being pregnant can hurt!

Go and checked to make sure nothing is wrong hun
