period type pains

[k8bailey]

Hello, I'm nearly 16 weeks pregnant, and have been having pretty bad period type pains for the past 2 days - is this just everything stretching? or something to be concerned about. I don't remember it being this painful with baby #1.

Also while I'm here....is it possible to develop a skin allergy/senstivity just because of pregnancy? - my partner thinks I'm pulling a fast one, but in the last week or so, I've started to come out in a slight, but very itchy rash on my hands and arms after doing the dishes!
