Heaviness/sharp pains 2nd trimester

[claireday03]

Hi all,
I have been experiencing heaviness/cramps and sometimes some short sharp pains in my lower abdomen/pelvis area. I am 14 weeks and 6 days. Is this normal? Everyone I know who’s had a baby doesn’t recall this in their pregnancy! Saw a midwife yesterday for check up and she didn’t seem concerned but it’s all a bit of an unknown. I never experienced period cramps (maybe this is my comeuppance!!!). Any advice would be much appreciated.

It’s probably round ligament pain and happens as your uterus starts to expand. I’ve had them for both my pregnancies and they can be quite sharp and intense.

@Chocolateaddict999Thank you for you reply. Yes that’s what I think and hope too. At my 12 week scan everything was great and I’m v low risk but after a miscarriage any cramps etc totally freak me out. If I could afford it I’d have a scan every day until I could feel baby move. It’s such a miracle and so amazing being pregnant but it’s emotionally all over the place at times x
