Aching down below

Hi everyone

Has anyone else noticed a heavy, aching feeling down below??

It's only when I stand up and gets worse if I'm standing up for a long time. It's not there everyday.

I remember having this in my last pregnancy but I don't think it was this early on.

Not sure if it's normal or not? :?

Hi, yes I had this - I remember posting lots about a real heaviness when I stood for too long and noone ever seemed to feel the same, which was unnerving! I don't really get it anymore, the occasional achey feeling but it doesn't last. Hopefully it will pass soon.

I'm getting this too- don't remember having it with ds though. I can't stand for long as it gets really painful, I imagine it's all the extra bloodflow down there and it all gets swollen and sore with gravity lol x

G/c from due in March, but I had this feeling last week, and spoke to my midwife about it. She said it's because your uterus is a muscle, if you have been standing or walking around a lot, it will tense up. She also said it's totally normal and if poss you should try and rest or sit down. Hope this helps. Xx

Thanks all...it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one! And especially to hear what your mw said rachllsn3 - makes sense when you think about it!
