I’m 17 weeks and I’m almost constantly uncomfortable. It’s like aching/tender, I suppose the word is uncomfortable rather than painful. It’s not cramps and it’s not shooting pains (round ligament). I walk slowly to ensure I don’t pull anything as it feels like I could. Has anyone experienced this? As at this stage, you shouldn’t really be feeling like this physically? I’ll speak to the midwife but when I spoke to her last week at my check up she basically just said things are growing etc but I know most women don’t seem to experience this discomfort so it’s worrying for me

I was always achy/tender at this gestation if my bladder was anywhere remotely full or if I was a bit constipated?

Just to update, I got checked and baby was well :) I think unfortunately I am just one of those women who gets a lot of aches and things. They said to take pain relief and that’s about it really.
