is it normal to be feeling dull pelvic/ovarian pains? it almost feels like a pulling or a poking. i'm in my first trimester, i just hit 8 weeks. and i was just wondering if anyone else experienced the same around this point in their pregnancy? or if this is something i should be worried about?? i'm a young first time mom, and i feel like every ache and pain that i DO get stresses me out a bit. i am fairly small in stature usually as well, could that be a part of it? if anyone knows anything helpful, please let me know!š

Yessss no one ever talks about stomach/pelvic pain in the first trimester!! Itās just your uterus stretching and adapting to the baby growing!! Paracetamol and ibuprofen go a long way at this stageš„°

thank you so much! this really puts my mind at easeā¤ļø

Yes, I was paranoid that I was having a miscarriage every other day. Iām 23 weeks & theyāre getting more aggressive..doctor said Braxton hicks..

Yes I had desperate pains until around end of week 10, Iām in week 12 now and itās easing, around week 7 I really was miserable with pains and feeling crap š¢

youāre welcome. If you grow more concerned and painkillers donāt work, contact your gp ā¤ļø

Ibuprofen is not recommended in pregnancy, paracetamol is the main one to take unless the doctor prescribes you something different.

thank you so much!

it's great to hear that it will ease up shortly! thank you!!

yes that was my worry exactly! i've had a miscarriage before, but these felt a bit different. i'm definitely with you there!!

absolutely, I was cramping constantly during first trimester! Just to note though that paracetamol should be OK but ibuprofen is not recommended in pregnancy unless prescribed by a doctor.

It's round ligament pain

thank you!!

Yes, I got pains early on and the got worse as my pregnancy progressed. I also got hip pain extremely bad which I still have 2 months after delivering (from my pelvic floor moving so much)

I'm 8 weeks and I get the same thing, happens all the time and since my still born I am paranoid that it's going to happen again. I was told yesterday by my doctor it's normal!

thank you!
