15 weeks & growing pains?

I would say 1 or 2 days per week I’ve been experiencing stretching type pains in my hips/ lower back and the area around my ovaries. It can be pretty intermittent but lasts the entire day, a hot water bottle usually helps. I’m just approaching my 15th week, and wanted to check that others have experienced something similar?

It’s not a cramping pain or anything, just an uncomfortable feeling like my body is growing. I know round ligament pain can start in the second trimester, I guess I wasn’t expecting it so soon?

I’m 5 ft 3 with my first and I seem to growing quicker than expected. Although only comparing to SIL who is 4 weeks ahead, hardly any bump to show and tells me she hasn’t had any growing pains! Although believes her baby is sat quite low down? She is also a lot taller, not sure if that should make a difference.

I would just like some reassurance, this is the furthest we have got after multiple losses 😊 x

I had a stretchy / dull ache from about 12-17 weeks (I’m 23 weeks now), which my midwife called “accommodation pain”. So it sounds normal to me. Round ligament pain (for me) was more a stabbing/intermittent type of pain that happened in certain positions or when walking. It also felt very muscular.

Sounds normal to me, I had it practically my whole second trimester!

Im 11 weeks and I’m experiencing this too- like a stretchy pain or odd stabbing pain. Not painful as such and doesn’t feel like period pains.
I am also having some (sorry if tmi) brown discharge which the midwife has told me not to worry about. Still makes me worry as my first and I’m 40. So all very new!
