Hey 16 weeks 2 day over here and I am achy around that area its completely normal from what I have read its your uterus stretching and the muscles around your stomach area stretching due to your uterus moving up out of your pelvic region xxx

Yep totally normal! In fact I've still been getting them even now at 21 weeks - so long as its not very painful or sharp and your not having bleeding its nothing to worry about. The joys of pregnancy huh!

I get them about once a week at least...it's just baby growing so its a good thing. Like others have said, if it isnt too painful and with no bleeding there is nothing to worry about.
In the beginning when I would get cramps it would scare me..even at 14 weeks...but now I kinda get excited because I know its just the baby growing!

Don't worry, I seen my midwife today and asked her about mild period like pains and intermittent discomfort around the sides of my tummy. She said it is all very normal and is just everything stretching. I felt so much better for hearing it from her xx
