Tummy Pains 17 weeks!

[ThatsNotMyPirate]

Hello, Sorry in advance for paranoid question.

I am 17 weeks and I am experiancing quite a few aches and pains (although nothing sever) and a few crampy pains in my tummy - I have been for a week or so now. DH says that I had this last time and to try not to worry as it is just growing/streching pains. I seem incapable of remebering anything from that stage in my previous pregnancy.

The rational sane part of me is saying 'dont worry, normal growing pains, same as last time' but the crazy part is saying 'oh god, OH GOD! I hope this is okay!!'.

Anyway, just hoping for some reasurance from people who may have had the same experiance??

Same, also 17 weeks.

Mine are a mixture of trapped wind, slight adjustment of bowels to Iron tablets (think cow poos) and stretching. I can't turn over too quickly in bed, not just cos of SPD, but also due to the ligaments tweaking in my sides.

I'm following the MW's advice in that if they don't go away with paracetamol, to start worrying then!

I'm visualising my uterus as a hot air balloon tethered to the floor on a windy day. All the ropes are creaking!

Thanks Hawkmoth - Great analogy

They have not been bad enough for me to think about taking parecetamol - so I guess that is a good thing!!!

In that case I'm a bit of you!!!

I was suffering period pains from about 16-18 weeks, horrible but went away of own accord
