Ouch, it hurts

[Krikkit]

Hi Starangelk, I have been getting the same sort of pains, I questioned my MW about it - she basically said to be concerned if I have, show, bleeding, waters breaking or if bubs stops moving.

The pain she said is most likely bubs descending into the pelvis.

Ouchies!

My BH's were just just belly going rock hard for long periods of time and cramping, I got them from quite early on, I didn't think they were BH's as they didn't come and go, it was constant pain and tightness and I had to sit or lie down, and unfortunately it often happened when we were shopping in the mall

Bubs could be moving down and perhaps hitting a nerve or something causing the pain

You're still a lot earlier than I was when I got them with DS. I had them on and off for a little while in week 38 or so and then start of 39 I had 2 days straight of them and just thought 'o something will happen soon' and I became a real couch potatoe for those 2 days. Period pain had been nothing unusal for me before pregnancy so I wasn't overly concerned. My discharge increased too. Then the next night in the middle of the night I went to the loo and then thought I wet myself getting back into bed and wondered how given I'd just done the loo thing... that's when I realised it was my waters breaking. DS arrived the next day and the official time put on my labour was 5 1/2 hours.

Given it goes away, you're probably fine, but it could also be pre labour which can go on for weeks. If it's something you're worried about, get it checked out, especially at this early point in time - don't hesitate if there's a change in your discharge or if you have any sign of bleeding at all! And remember, it's the job of the MW/Dr/OB to listen to you and take care of you and your bub.

Meanwhile, with number 2 I'm getting them a lot more and a lot earlier and if it gets to the point where I'm worried, I'll be in there like a shot to get it checked out, even if I am pretty much over being massive...

Thanks everyone.....I figured it must be stretching or something. The pre-labour thought does concern me a little - as much as I want to not be pregnant anymore (ready to meet my little one) I am not prepared for her to come yet! Still got lots to do in the office and at home before she arrives PLUS I want her to be strong when she comes out. I am measuring at 35 weeks so a little bit ahead but I guess that is probably just too many ice-creams after dinner - I haven't had the feeling today but if it does happen again, I might give my OB a call and ask.........you are right Lewis's Mummy - I am paying them a fortune, may as well get my moneys worth!
