Cramps and aches in second trimester - should I worry?

[flawless29]

Im 25 weeks and today Ive had mild to moderate cramping in my belly and lower abdomen, really most of the day, around the lower hemisphere of my baby bump, kinda where my underwear wraps around. It reminds me of period cramps. It hasn’t been sharp but definitely on the moderate scale and enough for me to feel sluggish and to nap. Should I worry? Do you all have it too? Dr Google says not to worry on some pages and taks about ligaments stretching and other pages says might be cause of concern, infection etc.

I've had these my whole pregnancy and have been checked out a few times after worrying but I'm currently 37 weeks with a super healthy baby boy. From what I can gather it's just normal uterus stretching which often mimics the same pains as period cramps. I found sometimes it was worse than others and that's usually down to a growth spurt. Try not to worry too much and trust your body ❤️

I've had cramps on and off too, usually if I overdo it. I think it's stretching/position of baby. If it gets worse, get checked out x

@hopingfor23 Thanks , that’s reassuring. Wish you good luck xx

@3isthemagicnumb3r thank you. May be I am just too much concerned. Thanks for a reply.

I’m 21 weeks and have this too! I spoke to a midwife last week and she said it’s normal growing pains and not to worry unless you have bleeding, a fever etc. with it.

@catc7 thanks , your message is comforting. Best of luck to you. I think I am overly concerned due to being my first pregnancy. My midwife is great but she doesn’t respond that quick. Good luck to you xx ☺️
