if you are worried, i would see the doctor.. cause you're mind is not going to be at rest until you know exactly what it is. Im sure its nothing to worry about, but maybe go for a check up just incase?

definitely get checked out, it could be serious if cramping starts up or bleeding ..you may need to be tested for bladder infection or other infections...make sure you are drinking LOTS of water(non caffeine) daily religiously, dont cut back because of fear of being in the bathroom all the time. but you may be told its harmless "round ligament pain" which often women have inthe weeks of the 20's. as the baby grows more rapidly.
Also after your first baby, in subsequent pregnancies you dont have as much muscle tone inthe belly as the first time-(even if you are not "fat") so baby is carried a little differently often lower. Also if you have little kid(s) you may be overdoing it carrying them a round-you need to stop lifting them up and get help, get off yr feet a t least twice a day for 20 minutes during the wakinghours of the day/evening. if the kids need cuddle time ,sit on the couch and have them come to you instead of lifting them up. You may need to slow down other activities as well, talk to your doctor/midwife about this. Also ask about a pregnancy "girdle".
Some people find they need to cut back on work hours about this time inpregnancy esp when u have others. You simply cannot keep up the same pace no matter how much of a supa mom you are. Accept your bodies needs and answer it by taking care of it dont fight it.

If you've never experienced this before then there is nothing wrong with calling your doctor and asking their advice, the peace of mind is worth all that money they're getting! I had a lot of weak feelings with my fourth child. I think it was because the muscles were a little tired of being stretched out like this! Of course you don't get as much rest either when you have little ones you're trying to take care of. It's probably nothing but you doctor may say that you need prescribed rest times during the day.

It's very normal to feel this, but not very nice. It's your ligaments supporting your womb that are feeling the strain & stretching. You might have pulled the ligament a bit hard & it takes time for it to settle down, it's sore, so keeps cramping. Subsequent pregnancies usally mean a bigger tummy, that could be why you didn't have this problem before.
But, it's important, like the others have said here, ask your doctor/nurse. Better safe than sorry.

I'm 26 weeks pregnant with my second child and i get exactly what you're having....i also have a heavy achy pelvis towards my undercarriage(for want of a better expression). I did not experience this in my last pregnancy but my midwife assured me it was how the baby is lying....mine apparently is sitting in my pelvis at the moment. There really is nothing to worry about. If in doubt please speak to your midwife or alternatively phone the maternity dept at your hospital and they'll be happy to discuss your concerns with you.
Lastly dont panic....all pregnancies are different.

Hi I had something similar during my second pregnancy, it will probably be just muscle strain, maybe you need to move slower and be really aware that your stomach muscles are finding it difficult to cope with the increasing size of your little munchkin!
How big were your other babies?maybe this one is a biggun! Also after previous pregnancys your muscles weaken anyway.
If its really bad and doesnt go away after say a week of being careful, go and see someone or mention it to your midwife.

It sounds like your muscles are struggling to cope.....
When I was pregnant with the twins, I had pains like that and I bought a maternity support belt - it was the ugliest thing going but it was a god send. I got it from the internet and it was around £20 but it was money well spent!!
I think you may be able to get them on the NHS too - ask your midwife....
Good Luck and I'm sure everything will be fine xx

I had this with my second pregnancy and I was like you, worried. But nothing happened and all turned out fine. I think it is due to you already having had pregnancies. As long as it's not causing you too much pain I'm sure it is fine, just mention it next time you have a check up appointment.

I think you should call your doctor, but I've been pregnant 2 times and this always happens to me in the beginning. From what I've read, it's just from your uturus stretching out and all the other changes happening - not because your fetus is in danger. It usually goes away before the second trimester, and in my case, after the first 8 weeks

I am 20 weeks pregnant, and i've had it for a while, i also get it when i cough or sneeze. it is normal and its just your muscles being stretched into positions they have never been in before, if the pain gets worse or prolonged get yourself checked out. talk to your midwife about it aswell as she will tell you more about it. it does hurt and its not nice so i sympathise, good luck with the baby and **** congratulations ****.
