How Much Aches And Pains Are Normal?

[chinchi]

You would think I could answer this question myself as my DS is only 10 months old, but for the past few days, my stomach and back have been hurting so much, and it is bringing back too many bad memories of my last pregnancy.

Im only 16 weeks, so I know its a little too early to start panicing, but DS was born at 29+5, and I remember having terrible aches throughout the last pregnancy.

My stomach feels constantly tight as though it is being pulled from inside and from the sides. The middle of my back feels as though someone is standing on it, like there is far too much pressure than normal.

Paracetamol are not helping, and Ive even taken a couple of Codiene which I was given last time round. I just feel like crying, Im aching so much.

I dont see midwife until Wednesday, should I just sit tight until then?

I think I would have it checked out as you will only worry otherwise, but it is probably just your ligaments etc. Perhaps lifting your ds is a bit much?

Youre probably right about DS. Trust him to be at the age where he can stay still for more than 5 minutes

my friend was advised not to lift dd too much when pregant with ds but you can't really help it when they are so young. Hope everything is ok.
