    Pains at 17 weeks

    Hi, I haven't experienced any pains or stretching since about 13 weeks. I've felt pretty good actually But the last few days I have felt really heavy down there and I have also been having a sharp-ish pain stretching from my belly button to right down low. It's bearable, but uncomfortable. I have also been feeling very uncomfortable where my uterus is. If I lean against anything it feels very uncomfortable and sometimes a bit sore.

    Does this sound normal?

    I have an OB appointment on Thursday, but I couldn't sleep last night and I think it was because in the back of my mind I was worried about this, especially since I have felt so good for weeks now. My OB is also away atm so it will just be the MW so I don't think I will be getting a scan.

    It does sound all pretty normal to me... Of course do mention it to your OB, but I had similar pains a few weeks ago too - put it down to ligaments etc all stretching and moving. I still get a weird ache if I lean on anything around uterus level, mostly benchtops.

    Thanks Anna, yes benchtops do it lol. It's just weird how it suddenly felt different the last few days. Like I just knew something was different.

    I hope all is well in there. Gosh I hate the worry all the time! It's such an uncertain time I wish I could just see inside. Very stressful
