Hi there

I have 4 children and have had 5 miscarriages. The pain you are feeling is all the stretching and growing that your tummy is doing. It sounds perfectly normal and exactly like what I had. I also had sharp pains in my groin area which is called round ligament pain and is your ligaments stretching.

I suffer with HA and spent every single one of my pregnancies convinced that something would happen.

You should rest assured that you have had 3 scans and everything is ok and you are past the first 12 weeks and in the second trimester now so chances of anything happening are very slim.

Try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Obviously if you are worried about something or the tummy pains become unbearable, then call your dr/midwife but it sounds perfectly normal to me.

Congrats on your pregnancy :hugs:

Hi Toria,
I'm 16 weeks pregnant, had a previous miscarriage at 8 weeks and am terrified of something going wrong. I have also started get aches and pains round my lower abdomen and groin area, also feeling pressure on my pelvic floor. Spoke to the midwife today as I was completely freaking out about this feeling of pressure and she assured me that it was the uterus growing and stretching and it was commonly reported and normal. Feel a bit better but it's scary isn't all these new feelings - am sure hormones don't help either. Just wanted you to know that you're not alone!
Take care and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
