Hi

I had this and was worried something was wrong. I wasn't in agony and had no bleeding so the doctor advised that it is just your muscles stretching and that it can continue on and off during the pregnancy as your womb expands

I had this also, felt like period style cramps which is a little disconcerting, however it was just muscles stretching. As you grow bigger ligaments will stretch and pull around the pelvic area too ... it's lots of fun :)

If you have any bleeding go straight to the hospital, but if it feels like severe period pain then that is exactly what I had - it does ease off after the first couple of months, promise x

It will be your uterus expanding it will hurt, it feels uncomfortable but as long as your not bleeding don't be alarmed, if you are worried speak to a midwife or gp or epu if you can't speak to midwife or gp xxxx

Hi,

As everyone else has suggested cramps and pains are normal as long as there is no bleeding.

I guess EPU stands for early pregnancy units in Hospitals.

Wish you all a very healthy and happy pregnancy 😇
