Are aches like this normal?

Need Advice

I have an appt on Monday and will also be putting in a call to my Midwife to be sure, but want to put out feelers.

I’m 28 + 2 FTM and started having the worst general aches yesterday. It’s mostly at night starting at like 7:30 pm and gone by morning.

When I had a period, I would get cramps in my lower abdomen and what felt like literally inside the V. I’d also get aches down the back of my legs, and behind my knees. This feels so much like that but even also in my ankles and yesterday in my wrists. It goes back and forth between going away, throbs, aches and radiating pain. The cramps that feel more like period cramps tend to fee a bit sharper. If I didn’t know better I’d think it was day 1 of my period. No bleeding or spotting.

Little girl is still plenty active and kicking but it’s confusing because it doesn’t seem like BH or like lightning crotch and it’s so hard to know what is normal. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I already take magnesium but don’t know what else to do. I had a lot of similar period like cramps in the first trimester but the went away, but the full body aches are hitting hard too.
