 Topic: Another pain Q
Posted: 06 August 2008 at 6:50pm |

I know there are heaps of threads on pains people are getting but wasn't sure if they're similar to what I have.
I'm getting pains that are like AF is due but they're only mild. Just slight crampy feelings and I would swear AF is due if I wasn't pg. Nothing else that would alert my to something being wrong. Had them for 2-3 days.
I don't want to freak and call my MW. Is this normal?

I had those all through the first part of my first pregnancy ,and my MW said it was everything stretching. But a phone call tomorrow wouldn't hurt, just to put your mind at ease.

I had them in the first trimester.....Dont worry they are normal, your body is changing, growing, stretching etc...

Yep they sound normal, if they become painful instead of just uncomfy though then a phone call to your midwife wouldn't hurt just to make sure and put your mind at ease, afterall that is what they are there for.

i had tummy pains and expected that everything was just moving out of the way and making space for bubs etc, but i also got a serious sharp ache on one side of my lower back. it went away and a month later the pain came back.. after putting up with the pain and 2 sleepless nights i had a urine test and turned out to be an kidney infection and doc said it was common during first pregnancies.. also if left untreated a urine infection can bring on labour.
so if there is pain in the kidney area of your lower back, should check with your doc to be sure

It is a bit scary, but it will be just stretching.
If you still feel unsure give a call to your midwife.

Very normal.
ETA: when this came up in AN class, the CBE said mention it to your MW if it happens before the third trimester.
