I'm 4+6 now and still getting a lot of niggly pains in my hips and lower back, which seem like ligaments stretching or softening or whatever, especially in the evenings (like now). But I'm also getting pain low down in my belly that feels a bit like AF pains (not severe though, just there, mild). And TMI but I also seem to have wind/trapped wind :oooo:

I'm sure it's fine but I can't help worrying over it.

Is anyone else still getting twinges & AF-like pains?

I only took one test because that's all I had in the house, so then I went and bought a twin pack of Clearblue off Amazon and plan to take one as soon as they arrive, hopefully if the BFP is strong it will stop me worrying and thinking I'm going to miscarry again :|
 
As you know im 4+6 now and ive been getting lower back pain on and off sinse i got my bfp, i dont remember having back pain last time, not untill later on. I also keep gettin weird feelings in my stomach like bloating like im due on, im not worried as have read this is normal! So your not on your own!x
 
That's good to know.

Thats what this is like, it's more like the pain I get from bloating just before AF, and I am suffering with wind/trapped wind, so it is probably just that, but I get wind when I'm on too so I keep worrying it's a sign I'm going to miscarry.
It doesn't help that my boobs have felt more normal today, when they've been feeling tender and heavier /fuller before lol.
 
I havent really had any boob pain but they do feel fuller, i have had lots of wind! Especially in the mornings lol i didnt have any sickness with my son and its looking like its going to be the same this time hopefully!
 
Hi Phoenix,

I've had exactly the same pains you're describing minus the back pain - especially in the beginning, it's felt like very mild period-like cramps along with weird stretching. It started right after conception, and I still get them every once in a while. I'm now in week 13 and baby is doing fine - try not to worry too much, it probably just means your body is a bit more sensitive.
 
Thank you!

It's eased off a lot now, so I think it's ok, just a combination of wind and things stretching, moving and getting ready. I hope so anyway :)

I'm so excited about having a baby again after so long (my baby turns 9 in a fortnight!)

Glad everything is going well for you :)
 
At what I thought was 5 weeks (now realise was probably more 4 weeks) I had the most horrendous period type cramps ever - I was convinced I was going to have a miscarriage and that was it! Baby's completely fine so it must have been some really weird stretching! They say pain on its own with no bleeding is ok - mind you, my mum is a midwife, and she's always said it's not quite normal for me for feel all the crampy pains I do but this is my second pregnancy and I also had them with my son so seems relatively normal for me haha!! X
 
I had period-like pains - not severe, just really annoying - from weeks 4 to 9. They seem to have cleared up now after 10w. MW said that it was probably just the uterus expanding making room. There is a lot going on down there, and everyone is different and feels it different. Another reason for feeling twinges is that the bloodflow to the pelvic area is greatly increased. Little muscle twinges or pains you might have dismissed as nothing before will feel worse now.
 
I'm getting all those symptoms and have the bloat to show somethings happening. I remember the stretch pains with dd my friend said with your second it's even more so x
