I believe in just over 5 weeks. Been getting twinges and pulling in the yummy area. Really bad twinges just after I have eaten then it goes off...is it normal? I have my first meeting with midwife on Saturday and paranoid and scared x

It’s probably just the implantation Hun you do get stretches and period cramps sometimes it’s your body adjusting. Congratulations xx

Yes, in both pregnancies I got these twinges/ stretching pain that disappears after a few seconds. I had them until I was around 20 weeks and usually came about if I moved in a certain way ie rolling over in bed or getting up from a chair. I believe it’s completely normal and it’s just the womb being extra sensitive while it stretches to make room for baby. If you have any doubts alway ask your midwife that’s why they are there! Good luck and congrats! X

Yes I feel this pulling feeling and then cramping. Had the odd twinge in my lady garden today which caught me by surprise. I just said to my partner I can't wait to see the midwife sat because I don't know who else to ask. I haven't told my mum yet as wanted to check all is ok first ...It's hard as my partner won't know haha ...I hope x
