Normal?

Im having more aches and i am just wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing.
Last week i had sharp pains on my left side went to the doc and everything was ok.
Last night i started feeling achey across my whole lower area from left to right. Basically the area where they would use the sonogram machine. If i press lightly everything feels tight.
If i move a certain way or blow my nose it really hurts. Im assuming its normal stretching again but i just wanted reassurance.
Im announcing the pregnancy tonight and im worried that if something is wrong id be announcing for no reason.
Im a nervous FTM! Just trying to get use to whats "normal" and whats not.
Thanks in advance!

Te tight feeling that goes from one side to the other might be Braxton hicks contractions. I started having them a few days ago. They are nothing to be worried about.
Also, you will feel aches and stretching as your body is growing to accomidate a baby. Just try to relax and enjoy this time!!

The tightening is probably braxton hicks (like PP said) and the sharp side pain is probably round ligament pain since all your insides are stretching and moving to accommodate the baby.  Both are totally normal.  Now if you're doubling over in pain then i'd call your doc but if you can wait it out it should go away in a minute or so.

Thank you!

Im beginning to think its a bit of a mix. Stretching and a possible "backdoor backup"! Lol

Happy holidays!
