Early pregnancy: constant (pretty much) heavy and achey feeling in low abdomen

[hobbgoblin]

I should know whether this is normal after several pregnancies but has been a while since I've had a pregnancy to term, so I'm wondering if this is usual?

It's like period pain, sort of, but very mild and not as gripey/crampy.

Am I right in thinking it is all to do with uterus stretching, etc. ?

Sounds very much like what I haver been experiencing. This is my second pregnancy.

i have been doubled over with pain in left ovary and uterus. Had implantation bleed, morning sickness all week, body aching and feel swollen all over. DH took DD out so I could sleep all morning. I am exhausted but the pain is worrying. And I have had 3 negative tests. Will wait till next week to test again.

i had it a lot at the beginning of this pregnancy.Don't remember it previously - think it might be something to do with the number of pregnancies and yes it's the uterus stretching. I wouldn't worry unless it's one sided or you have any other unusual symptoms
