Stretching Pains?

[DebbieM]

The past couple of days I have been having a LOT of stretching pains again. I keep worrying that they aren't stretching pains at all and that they are cramps but I have been reading up and since they have a kind of burning sensation to them, it would seem they ARE ligament pains.

I'm pretty sure week 13 is quite a big week for baby growth and also when it starts moving above the pelvis too.

Anyone else having this?

I've wondered that aswell, week 12/13 has been quite painful, especially the night before the scan. I tend to get it when I sneeze, or lying on my side in bed. My microwavable bean-bear helps, or a warm bath
I think it's fair to say they are cramps, they are quite painful (or maybe I'm just a wimp??) hehe

I suffer alot with this. Most days I get alot of cramps, aches and pains around the lower abdomen, both sides and lower back. The pelvic floor exercises can help alot. Sometimes it hurts pretty bad and at other times its just a dull ache or stabbing twinges. All in all i've pretty much got round to accepting it, although my midwife says these pains should start to ease off around 24 weeks.
