11 Weeks Pregnant, back pain and Cramps

[Scoaf]

Hi All.
Im currently 11 weeks Pregnant with our Rainbow Baby 🌈
The last few days my back has been so Achy and sore. Especially in the mornings and ive had some dull aches in my tummy and sides too.
I have never got this far in a pregnancy so not sure if these are just usual growing pains and im just being extra anxious after my previous experiences.
We've had 2 scans so far and my 12 week scan is a week on Tuesday.
Does anyone have any advice please?

@Scoaf I don’t know for definite but I’m just over 12 weeks pregnant and the last week I’ve been quite achy in my lower abdomen/period type pains. I also remember having a lot of pain in my first pregnancy and was always told it was just everything stretching and growing. So hopefully it’s just that? It does really play on your mind though worrying it could be something else going on!

Thanks for your reply. Congratulations on your pregnancy.
Its reassuring to know im not the only one with the pains.
Feeling alot better today so far 🤞
Who knew pregnancy could be so stressful.

Cramps will come and go in pregnancy and they are so normal. Your body is preparing to grow grow grow

As long as you don't have any severe pain/bleeding, I would keep up the fluids as this can help ease cramps. Take it easy and rest x
