Q: Pregnancy pains just enough to bother me - are they normal?

Im sixteen weeks and 1 days pregnant. I have felt flutters, very rare, infact only about once this week and a few during week 14. This is my 2nd pregnancy. (altho I have had a first trimester miscarriage before) Anyway I have had like back ache and some pains in my lower tummy/groin area since 3 nights ago. I cant decide if they are mestrual like pains or not but it is concerning me slighty. I did have backache earlier on in pregnancy and cramps but they went for a few weeks and now seem to have come back! Its not as if im dying with pain but its just enough to bother me. I have had no bleeding (thank god) so far and am still being sick! Midwife told me some people are unlucky enough to suffer with sickness throughout the whole pregnancy- i think i am one of those. Anyway just wanted to know what you think about these pains, should i be worried?

If you are worried, always call your midwife. Let her know the pains you are having and how severe you think they are.

It sounds like it could be stretching of your ligaments and uterin stretching. But I am not a doctor and you should ONLY RELY on medical advice you get from your own midwife/doctor.

When is your next appointment?

You should talk to your midwife about what you are feeling and your anxiety surrounding it.

Is this the same unplanned pregnancy you took plan b for?

Does your doctor think this is related in any way to the cysts you've had?

you stated in this post that you rarerly feel movemnets right? but in your post that you posted before you said this

"been feeling like I'm feeling my baby moving it feels like a heart beat I'm freaking out cause this is my 2nd pregnancy & I never felt like this. I feel my stomach moving all the time none stop ... it's totally different from my 1st child & she's 6yrs old & very smart"
