Belly aching!
This is my first pregnancy, so don't know what to expect at all! But this evening I walked up the road to the shop (about a 10 mins walk each way) and on my way home my belly was aching so much! I couldn't really describe it as pain, it was more of an ache all over the lower part of my belly. As I got nearer home I was walking really slowly and holding my belly with my hands!! (Probably looking really silly) And just had to collapse on the sofa when I got in.
Is this normal? I'm 22+1 today. I've felt various niggles and pains but not felt such a strong ache like this before!

was it because your bump was quite heavy. you are probably not use to carrying around the extra weight.
I definitely get this if I do too much - even if too much doesn't actually seem like a lot! I'm also getting out of breath quite easily which is kind of shocking when you're only half way though the pg! I guess we just need to listen to our bodies and slow down x
it's called round ligament pain x got it lots with DS and lots more this time
I get this too. I guess just our ligaments getting stretched more than we're used to. I havent stopped doing anything that I did before but just slow the pace down and don't rush as much. that helps xx
