anyone else had these and how long did they last? Worse when i wear work clothes/trousers. I think i need to get some maternity wear now. Xx
 
Not sure myself hun but im guessing they would be growing pains?

no hun. Its not mega bad. Its like mild period pains. I had a warm bath, then laid on sofa, watched tv, then went to bed and slept really well. No pain this morning but this will change later when i have sat at my desk all day. :s xx
 
sounds like stretching pains of the uterus coupled with back ache from where your posture is changing. providing its not bad, i wouldnt worry but if any doubt speak to your MW
 
It's fine, I get the same and as you say it's worse in the evening after sitting at work all day :(
 
Like the others have said, it sounds like growing/stretching pains. I think investing in some maternity wear sounds like a good plan. Your clothing could be adding to the discomfort. Take a bit of time out at work to get away from your desk, even if it just means getting up for a glass of water x
 
im getting the same pains also my cothes are to tight im still trying to squeeze into a size 8 jeans lol.

anyway i think the pains are normall i had loads when i was having my son.
 
thanks girls. Yeh it is worse after sitting at my desk all day. I do move around but it still aches after a full day. Weekends are ok. So obviouly work and chnging posture is adding to the changes to my body. Maternity wear is a must but its soooo expensive. :( xx
