8+2 pregnant

[beverleymot]

hello, I think i am 8wks + 2 days pregnant and for the last week or so i have felt like pushing pains really low down... i already have 2 children and did not experience this with them. sometimes it feels like kicking, and other times it feels like pushing. it doesnt hurt or ache, its just very strange! any ideas what this could be? i do have a feeling i may be maybe a month further gone than i am. Thanks!

I know what you mean - this was one of the first sensations and signs I had with my second pregnancy. I think it is due to the uterus being about the size of a grapefruit at 8 weeks and the increase in blood flow/volume around the body. Also, you may have slight cramping/contraction type feelings which can be worrying but I can only go by my experience and say that I went onto have a healthy baby girl when I was 43 years old.

I worried about every little twinge (and bleeding) and change my body went through right up until she was born.

I hope everything is ok with you and that you enjoy this exciting time......x

Thank you... Yes I am good and well... I was panicking a bit as I have never experienced this before!! I did read that it could be the uterus stretching x
