Hello mumma’s!

I am 16 weeks pregnant.

I had my 12 week scan at 13+3 and all was fine!

I had a little scare at the beginning of my pregnancy but everything has been plain sailing and fine since.

About 2 weeks ago I started having mild aches and pains in my stomach which I assume is normal.

The last few days though, the pain (which is normally very, very low in my stomach, both sides although predominantly my right side) has sometimes been really painful I have had to stop what I am doing. It feels like a severe cramp or like I have pulled a muscle inside my stomach, but it doesn’t last very long, 10-20 seconds maybe. Sometimes it’s more of a tolerable pain but can be several times a day.

I’m sorry, I’m a first time Mumma so I don’t know what’s ‘normal’ and what isn’t and I don’t want to contact my midwife about every little thing, but are these pains normal or should I be worried and contacting my midwife?

My 16 week midwife appointment isn’t for another 1.5 weeks.

Thank you.. X
