5 months pregnant

[oldermum]

i am 5 months pregnant but getting pains in my lower stomach and just woundering is this normal

[crete]

this is a question for your midwife ot your G P .

I doubt it's anything to really worry about- is baby still moving around? but like crete's advised (perhaps a bit bluntly) the best thing to put your mind at ease is to speak to our midwife or HV.

[redcrx]

speak to your GP or midwife as the others have said. there are so many things a pain could be, not all of them 'normal'.
Your midwife will not mind you calling, or speak to your local pregnancy unit at hospital if you cant get to see or talk to anyone else.
Im sure all will be fine but better find out from a professional than from us on here

[ummmm]

Beside the obvious (seeing Gp etc.) I think it's normal. Something to do with ligaments stretching. I had it with all my pregnancies.

BOO, didnt mean to be blunt but any abdominal pain at 20 weeks pregnant should always be discussed with a professional.

they might be braxton hicks ( although I do think it is early for them )
I would ring your midwife and explain to her what the pain is like ?
hope every thing is ok for you
