I've been having cramps all around my bump but mainly lower down underneath the bump or to the left or right of the bump. I heard the heartbeat yesterday and midwife seemed happy but im worried about this pain. I always get made to feel like I'm wasting their time at the hospital so don't really wanna go up unless completely necessary. xxx

How are babies movements?
They deffo shouldn't be making you feel like your wasting time, it's their job after all to take care of you.
Any worries I would ring, don't hesitate or let them put you off, it's very important.

Braxton-Hicks?

Well I've just phoned them and they said to rest for a couple of hours, have some paracetamol and relax. they are sure there's nothing to worry about but if its still bad in 2 hours then phone them back. not great advice really. xxx

My ligament pain felt quite crampy. Mainly had it on the left side.

I think it's fine advice if it's just cramps? No waters or bleeding?

nope no waters or bleeding, just painful. im a natural worrier so don't know if I'm just over thinking it.
babys movements have only started about 10 days ago and they are still a bit random but my midwife said they will be for a little while until I'm about 2r -28 weeks especially because I have an anterior placenta so they said not to worry too much about the babys movements. xxx
