Pain in early pregnancy
I'm about 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant give or take a few days, the past few days i have had some awful
pain, it feels like period pain all in my belly and the bottom of my back and it feels like there's loads of pressure in my vagina, i've not had any bleeding but i've also had severe headaches. Yesterday i had bad pain on my left side near the bottom of my belly and it was like a dull stabbing pain for a few minutes but excruciating i couldn't move and now av just had the same pain i had for a few days before that.
I'm not sure whether it's worth getting this checked or if this is normal.
I did have period pain like cramps with my first baby but then was like a day or 2 before i found out i was pregnant i took pain killers it went and it never really came back maybe the odd little pain for a few minutes here and there but never anything constant like this.

Yes happened to me before it called Round ligament pain or growing pains, is a common and normal part of pregnancy that occurs when the ligaments around the uterus stretch and tighten to support the Growing baby
I’m not sure but you could contact your early pregnancy unit for some advice?
i've looked into this but im not 6 weeks yet and my local early pregnancy unit will only see you from 6 weeks+ 🤦🏻♀️. I've got in the bath to see if it soothes it but if anything it's making it worse x
Definitely talk to a doctor as soon as you can even if it’s just by going to the emergency room, this may not be your case but I have an incompetent cervix so my cervix can’t hold the weight of a baby and opens prematurely, I lost my first baby due to this because they don’t immediately look for this and often don’t check your cervix unless reason to, my pelvis hurt and I felt crampy everytime I walked, and everytime I told my mother she would say it was round ligament pain or say I need to exercise more, I went into labor at 17 weeks, with my second my cervix started dilating at 14 weeks, but I got my cervix stitched closed until 34 weeks and had a healthy baby boy, when in doubt always see a doctor as soon as you can because it may be nothing but it’s always better to be safe than sorry
