"Growing pains"

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and the past 2 days, usually in the early morning or before bed, I get this strange dull pain in my lower abdomen-if feels like my uterus is stretching! This seems to be common but I still worry something is wrong? Am I just being paranoid???

Re: "Growing pains"

  • Hi, congrats on your pregnancy!

     Yep, you will fell all kinds of aches and dull cramps during early pregnancy.  Usually sharp pains are related to gas or a BM (worse if you are constipated, a lovely preggo symptom).  Dull aches that often feel like ovulation pain is round ligament pain.  Big stretching feelings often feel like or are bloat as well - very commone in the first trimester.

     

    Best wishes! When are you due?

  • i get the same thing except my pain doesnt feel dull at all lol ): i asked my doctor about it though and he said it is just the uterus stretching to be able to support the baby and the pain is normal so youre fine!

  • That makes me feel so much better, thanks. The stretching pain has subsided, I'm 9 weeks now-due February 7th 2011:) Thanks for all your advice!
