19 weeks and feeling period type pain/aches

[Sallypuss]

Evening all

All has gone well with my pregnancy to date but today started feeling some period type aches in my lower abdomen. Am trying to convince myself it's nothing to worry about but doesn't feel like the ligament stretching feeling I had in the first trimester. Anybody had this/able to give some advice?

Used doppler tonight and can still hear the heartbeat/placenta.

Thanks

It could be the start of Braxton Hicks. Try putting your feet up for a while.

Mine were always worse when I didn't get enough rest, and wasn't drinking enough water.

If you relax and they don't go away then call your practitioner.

could be stretching pains? very normal at that stage but deffo call midwife 2moz if they don't subsdie or get wrose

Sallypuss sorry no advice but just wanted to say that i am having the same period aches and am glad that you have wrote in with this. Don't know how normal it is but i just assumed that it was stretching pain. I'm 18 weeks tomorrow so similar dates to you. Hopefully somebody else can shed some more useful advice x

Hi there , just wanted to say that I am 26weeks pregnant and have had period like pains all the way through my preganacy, infact that was how i found out i was pregnant as had pains but didn't come on. they do seem to be settling a bit now , have days that are worse than others, my GP said to expect all sorts of funny aches and twinges just if they become severe, constant or any bleeding then to worry. hope that helps.

Thanks all feeling more reassured - less achey this morning too.
