Second opinion?

[Autumnlily14]

So I'm 18 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy.

I've had back pain for probably at least 4 days at the base of my back and near my ribs. For the last three possibly 4 days my stomach muscles have been tight, particularly on the left side and above my stomach. This is something I've mostly noticed at night so trying to pay attention today. At the moment feels more like I've had a good stomach workout with muscle soreness at the top of my stomach and above my pelvis.

I would just assume it's tightening or ligament pain and leave it at that apart from 2 reasons. The first is I don't remember having pain like this with my first and second for the last 3 days I've also been having some jelly like discharge which I've read could be the mucus plug.

I don't really want to bother the midwife is this is a normal thing so thought I'd ask here first.

Thank you all for your replies in advance

Bump as feeling desperate

Hi. I didn't want to leave you unanswered. I don't have much advice to offer other than I've had weird pains and cramping all over since the start of my pregnancy, including pains in my back that I didn't have before. Its best to speak to your midwife as she can check you over and give you some reassurance.

I did ask midwife she said take paracetamol and see. I've noticed they go when laying down and then I think they just gradually get worse the longer I'm upright and/or moving
