30 weeks & severe period like pain!

[Mabelhc]

Just as the title says really!
I'm a FTM and probably worrying over nothing, but all of a sudden I've started experiencing really painful (take-your-breath-away pain) lower abdominal pain. Not so much cramping, it's just constant. Feels like a constant period cramp.... if that makes ANY sense!
I'm sure it's just everything moving about, but it's given me a wee fright this evening. Trying a warm bath & paracetamol but struggling a little!
Wondering if anyone has experienced similar?

Personally I would get this checked. Is the pain all the time or coming every now and again?

Early stages of labour felt like sever period pain for me. Cramping etc every now and again. If your experiencing this I would start timing it. But I would ring triage as well. Never can be too careful

Give triage a call, always best to run these things past a midwife

Thanks folks, I gave them a buzz & they've just said to keep an eye on it for now!
Definitely a dull constant pain and then cramping now and then... Will see how we go but I've got the stopwatch ready just incase!

I would def go in and get checked if you can , I’ve had two pregnancies and not experienced that . I would get stabbing pains in my crotch from baby descending low but that sounds concerning. Hopefully it’s just round ligament as you say xx
