what pains are normal in early pregnancy???
Hi, I only found out im pregnant late this week. I think i am only a couple of weeks gone. I got a pain on the right hand side (bit like a stitch) a couple of days ago and i seem to have slight pains at bottom on abdomen (bit like mild period pain). Is this normal? Its my first and also cos im so early ive not booked in to see docs yet. Any info appreciated. Ta x

The pains you describe sound completely normal. This is my first and I was surprised how many aches & pains you get in the early stages, especially as this is an anxious time anyway before your first scan. I had period type pains and also lots of stitch type pains low down which are your ligaments stretching as your uterus starts to grow. The stitch type pains continued long into my 2nd trimester so try not to let them worry you too much and give your MW/GP a call if they get uncomfortable xx
I was exactly the same and had mild period like pains for the first 15/16 weeks - was convinced something was wrong but came on here and everyone but my mind at rest!
It all sounds very normal and before you know it you'll see your lo on the screen for the first time and your anxieties will fade away!
Enjoy your pregnancy and look after yourself
