Cramps/aches

I’m 17 pregnant this week and starting from yesterday I’ve had a bit of a cramp feeling and like an ache feeling in the lower part of my tummy. This is my first pregnancy and I’m just a little bit worried and just wondered if this was normal? It’s a mild ache, cramps feeling! Thank you

I always remember how 16-17 weeks felt the worse for cramps. Kinda like bad period pains. Always a worry though x

It is worrying! Mine is mild and just aching but I guess the little baby is growing 😊

I remember googling it and it seemed quite common at that stage. Baby must have a growth spurt or something xx

I googled it as well and it said it was normal to get aches and pain as the lower abdomen is growing so yeah as long as it’s growing and healthy that’s the main thing aha! xx

I’m 16+3 and have had lots of cramps today, which I haven’t had since the first few weeks. Hopefully it’s just growing pains. I’ll follow out of interest (and worry of course) xx
