Hi everyone I'm 26 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby so all new to this I have been gettin period like aching pains below my bump and round the sides there not terrible and they come and go somtimes there worse than others is this normal or should I be concerned???
26 weeks is this normal?: Hi everyone I... - Pregnancy and Par...
26 weeks is this normal?
It sounds like your uterus is stretching, is it like a stinging pain and then sometimes feels like a stitch?
Little bit but more like a period pain ache before I got pregnant I used to get realy bad period pains and it just feels like a milder version of them is this normal at this time?
I will be 26 weeks tomorrow and what you are describing sounds familiar. I get those pains when I stand up from sitting and also when I walk. I think it is just the muscles and ligaments taking the strain of the ever-growing bump.
I am 19 weeks today and get sharp pains in the sides of my bump and they feel a lot like you have described which I know is due to my uterus stretching. It's uncomfortable but not unbareable. If you feel concerned, just pop your midwife (or team) a call or see you doctor. I am sure they will tell you the same as we have though. My midwife said to call again if I felt like the pain was too much to handle - a little aching and stiffness is normal. Hope that helps.
Thank you yeah I think that's what it might be I got them realy badly at the begining and that's what the midwife said it was! Seems to of eased a bit over the last few days!
