A certain amount of aches & pains are normal at the end of pregnancy, but they can be unnerving, especially if you didn't experience them first time round.

I don't think you need to worry just yet.. the stretching pains sound normal. The baby is getting big now & is running out of room in there!

If she thinks she's going into labour she should contact her doctor/midwife straight away.. but for now she should just try & relax, worrying isn't helping the situation.
