The Aches and Pains of pregnancy..

I had a terrifying scare when I was in my twelfth week of pregnancy, I was having a cup of tea and a natter at a friends house when I started to get this weird aching in my groin going around to my back.
It quickly gained momentum, and before long I had to call my husband to come fetch me and take me to the doctor! I had to have a painkiller injection and it was really scary, but it turned out to be round ligament pain.

When the uterus pops up out of your pelvis the ligaments anchoring it strain and stretch, it can cause real pain and be really frightening. But you have to remember that its normal and it usually passes, I am going to give you a few different links and diagrams so you can read it for yourself.

If your experiencing round ligament pain please try not to worry, its just one of those yucky things that go along with the growing and nurturing of that new life inside you!
