Since yesterday my poor body has taken a battering. For no reason, I woke up from a nap yesterday and my stomach muscles are killing me. It feels like I have a stitch, but all the time. Now the pain has moved slightly to my side, but feels the same.

I'm not worried for the baby, as the pain is not 'inside' if you know what I mean. Baby is still kicking like a soccer player anyway. It's just a constant pulling and tugging of my muscles.

I get some relief from a heat bag but apart from that I'm out of ideas.

I'm open to taking pain killers, but not sure which are the best / safe during pregnancy. I also liked those heat creams, but I'm not sure if they are safe.

Any suggestions? I couldn't get out of bed to get to work today and that is not a sustainable option!

Cheers,
Fiona
