Im newly pregnant and keep getting these mild pulling sensations near my lower tummy. I dont know whats normal and whats not yet. how is the pain supposed to feel so i can tell the difference?
Right now in my 8th month its less pain and more like carrying a watermelon that kicks, haha. Back ache, sore hips, the works. Tired but honestly used to it by now.
Mild stretching and back aches are usual. But please never ignore severe or sudden pain, especially with bleeding or fever. When in doubt, just ring your gynac.
Early on I felt mild cramps like period pain, and later stretching pulls on the sides of my belly. It worried me at first but most of it was normal stretching. The labour pain later was a whole different intense thing.
Day to day pregnancy aches are mostly back pain, round ligament pulls and that heavy feeling. Thats all normal. But sharp pain, cramping with bleeding, or rhythmic tightening before due date, those need a doctor call.
