Im 17 weeks pregnant, I woke up with stomach cramps this morning and I've had them all day, the middle of my stomach and back really hurt. Its not been a constant bad pain, it eases then gets worse again, especially if I've been sat a while then get up.
I've had pain before during pregnancy but shortly after I've gone to the loo and its gone, but going to the loo didn't help at all this time, although it was painful in my stomach to go.
I'm not sure whether I Ned to go to the hospital, or if I'd just be wasting the doctors time. I live in the UK so its free to go, and I've been join the NHS symptom checker online which tells me to go to the hospital, but then the questions on there are quite vague.

I get the worry about wasting time, but pain is usually the body's way of saying something is up. It could be normal, but you don't know for sure, and why should you be in pain without getting some direction on easing it?
When in doubt, get checked out.
