16 weeks pregnant w/pains in lower tummy / groin area Posted: 11-06-07 13:24pm
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?

Hey! You may be experiencing "round
ligament pain." These round ligaments
surround your uterus and pelvis. As you
grow they begin to stretch and pull
causing those sharp pains. It can be
pretty alarming sometimes but they should
only last a couple seconds when you cough
or move.
Make sure you discuss it with your doctor.
You need to see them really soon tho if
you there's bleeding, or pain when peeing
: )
Also, my back aches constantly and that's
due to your body readjusting to your
condition and preparing it for a heavier
baby later on.
