Lower back pain and period like cramps 15 weeks pregnant! Advice pls

[loveyourself87]

Is this normal? For the past few days since I turned 15 weeks my lower back pains have returned and I'm getting abdominal cramping just like period pains! Not very intense and thankfully no bleeding! Have been treated for UTI and constant thrush!

Anyone had these pains? X

I was 16 weeks yesterday and for the past 3 days my back has been in bits this is my 4th pregnancy I've always suffered with my back in pregnancy but usually not until 25+ weeks

@Mummylanie3 apparently it is round ligament pain! I am used to the cramps but haven't had them in a while.

Anyone know what this could be? Really worried

@loveyourself87 I'm 17 weeks pregnant and around 15 weeks I started with period type cramps on and off and pain whenever I moved quick or bent down etc. I still have it now on and off today hasn't been bad but yesterday was. Don't worry it's normal. It's things stretching to accommodate your growing baby. They always they have a growth spurt around 15 to 16 weeks too so could be because of that. Round ligament pain in very common during the second trimester.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy ❤️ x

@FearnRJ thank you for the reassurance! The cramps and lower back pain have been there all day :-(... fingers crossed all is ok x
