What's all this pain about?!
Ok so this pregnancy is so different to my last its hard to tell what's going on in there. I've had bleeds since 14 weeks but that's fairly well monitored, and nothing I've read about low lying placenta mentions pain. It goes right thru my belly in intervals, usually only lasting around 15 seconds and then it'll do that on and off over an hour or so then ill be fine for a while after. It's not like the ligament stretchy pains, and it's not like contraction pain either, but it does get bad enough to stop me dead in my tracks and I have to rock thru it. Can happen any time of day or night so it cant be from overdoing it. Any thoughts on what I can do about it???

Thanks ladies :) they're not bh, I do get them if i overdo things but this other pain is different. Caz did that show up on ultrasounds? I have a u/s every 4 weeks at the moment to moniter the bleed and placenta so surely it would've shown up?

Sounds like an irritable uterus. Meaning that your uterus is contracting enough for you to feel it like mild contractions.
I'd mention it your healthcare provider next appointment and ask about how Magnesium can help :)
You can obviously do your own research on IU and magnesium :)
