Tummy muscle aches only 4wks

Dougal333 · Mar 17th, 2010, 15:07 PM

My stomach feels like I have been doing lots of sit ups and pulled the muscles. I haven't!!! I aches on both sides.

Is it normal to feel mild pain both sides and also the ache is either side, and above the belly button.

After my BFP I saw the Dr he said that at 4wks it was too early to examine me come back in 2-3 weeks. I mentioned that due to a weird period I could actually be a month futher along than I thought, but he didn't seem bothered.

Is it usual to feel so much tummy stretching at just 4wks and 4 days???

Gosh this is all so exciting!

Wow hun, you have to been to hell and back, haven't you? Good luck with this bean!!

And yes, 4 week stretch pains are totally normal. You're going to have a uterus bigger than a basketball in the next 6-7 months or so!

it's normal because the same thing happened to me at 4 weeks and again at 7 weeks and even happens now occasionally! it should pass but don't worry if it comes back in a couple of weeks because that's totally normal too!! if you're worried though speak to your doctor and they can check everything is ok =)

My goodness Hedgewitch you have had a horrific time. You sounds like a very strong person, and I admire you. Take it easy won't you and I am sending you all my happy thoughts from the UK.

I knew stretching pains would happen, because it seems obvious, I just thought they would be lower in my pelvis, not high up near my ribcage and so then I started to worry and doubt myself that is was normal.
THanks all

Sorry I forgot to say. I am feeling great thanks. Sore boobs, achy tummy, bloated the size of a whale - but just happy to be pregnant having spent 12 mths TTC. I also get very tired, but I suffer from ME / CFS so it is hard to tell if my tiredness and pain is from the pregnancy or that. I am convinced it is my thyroid. Thye were about to try me on some thyroxine when I fell pregnant and they have said best not to try it just now.

Nevermind, just want a healthy baby.
