Pain in early pregnancy

[Brassimc]

Hi all, I’ve recently found out that I’m pregnant which is amazing and I’m only four weeks But I do have lots of pain, I would say it’s a little bit stronger than period pains but the pain is there For about six hours a day for the last three days but I’m not sure what to do, Ever since I’ve been taking the pessaries I’ve had pain as well, therefore could it be a side-effect of the pessaries still

I’m 5 weeks tomorrow and I’ve had quite a lot of pains and twinges all over the place for the past few weeks. It seems to be calming down a bit now. I tend to get trapped wind after taking the pessaries which also contributes to the pain I think. I’ve read that the pains are quite normal at this time because everything is starting to expand and stretch. Congratulations on your pregnancy.😀

Hi Brassimc. Make sure you don't get constipated, which is easily done with using pessaries. Plenty of water to drink, and keep an eye on urine output in case you are developing a bit of infection. Do get checked out if it persists. Hope all is soon well. Diane

Hi DianeWhen I first started taking pessaries my lining seemed really think when I inserted them but i’m 5 weeks now and when I inset them my insides don’t feel as think, would this be right?

Hi. I’m sure everything is fine. You can’t feel your womb lining when you insert the pessaries. Not long until your first scan, so that will reassure you. Usually you continue to use the pessaries until 8-12 weeks of pregnancy. Diane
