Period-like ache?

[TiffanyJaynexo]

I have googled and apparently it's perfectly normal but I still would like some opinions from you girls here.

Like the title says I'm having some very mild period-like aches in my lower back (mainly), but I get a little achey in my front too, and a little bit achey in my you know what.

Just feels like those aches you get a few days before you come on a period. I was due a period some time this week but of course I got a BFP instead.

Feedback on this?
I am trying to stay calm but feeling quite down.
OH is worried too, and doesn't really want to talk about it Also, he didn't sleep at all last night.

Thanks girls xxx

Hi hunny.

Its perfectly normal. I had dull aches left lower abdomen and lower front. Sometimes a bit burning like a period was coming. Twinges too, stabbing pains etc. I rang the Dr who said all normal and Ive since been back to the Dr and seen the Midwife who assured me is all perfectly normal.
Your body is stretching and changing and its bound to be achy. As long as you dont bleed or the cramps double you up you should be just fine

Hey hun,

I understand why you're worried completely but as far as I'm aware as long as the pains arent severe (severe as in you cant talk/walk etc) and there's no bleeding; its all perfectly normal. When I went to the docs for the first time she said she'd be very surprised if i wasn't suffering slight tummy aches because the bean is still burrowing a nice little nest for itself to grow for the next 8/9 months and everything in there is stretching to make room I'm still getting them now (I'm about 12 weeks - havent updated my pregnology thing yet ) because my uterus is getting higher and strecthing making room for the growing baba I understand though I'm exactly the same sometimes I get pains and I get really worried but like I said hun as long as they're arent severe or you're not bleeding don't panic; the last thing you and baby need is stress

I really hope this helps hun. Oh and Congrats on your BFP XXX

PS....STAY OFF GOOGLE, ITS EVIL. lol

Thank you both, you've eased my mind a lot.
And I think you've eased my aches because they've gone! I'm sure they'll be back but I won't be as worried this time. I understand my body is changing every day and so I expect to get a bit of 'revenge' from my body.

I think I need to go for a number two but I'm a bit Constipated right now

Thank you again xxx

Aww sweetie bless ya, the stomach aches might be down to the constipation as well - I suffered with it not nice. Oh and I agree with cherrybinky, however tempting it is please try not to google things because it puts things in your head and makes you paranoid - I was the same and it made me soo paranoid. What you need at the moment is rest and lots of it because your body is working overtime to accomodate room for the bean and everything else xx

Thanks hun.
Totally feel sorry for my body right now, I don't think it knows what to do with itself.
I'm having plenty of rest because I'm so bloody tired all the time! Kinda feel like I want to go back to sleep now too

Haha goold old fatigue, thank god mine is going now. But I had loads of people telling me off because I didn't listen to my body and would come home from work and start cleaning the house... big no-no!! At every opportunity you get REST!! Whether its napping or just chilling x

 

[TiffanyJaynexo]

I'm chilling about 99.9% of the time

Think I might go for a nap, sooooo tired! xxx

Completely normal...alot of the ladies get it in tri 1. I know its hard not to worry! xxx

 

[TiffanyJaynexo]

Thanks hun.
In all honesty I think I need a number two :S Thats what it feels like right now and my farts don't sound good either.
TMI I know!! xxx

 

[TiffanyJaynexo]

I kinda feel silly for asking this question now.
Because it feels totally normal, from what I'd expect from pregnancy anyway
