Crampy

nolebride

Does anyone else experience crampiness at times? I'm 17 weeks. I've been feeling crampy since last night. This morning it feels like it's radiating to my lower back/butt.It's pretty mild. It's not anywhere near what period cramps feel like. I don't have any spotting.  Not sure if I should call my doc or not. It's so hard to tell when it's serious and when it's just regular pregnancy discomforts.

I get a lot of that. Some times it's near as bad as period cramps for me, but the doc said not to worry unless I had spotting or severe pain. He said it's just my uterus and muscles in that area stretching and growing. And of course there's extra pressure on my back, so that's expected too.

Hope yours gets better!?

I get that too, just had it last night again as a matter of fact, Talk to your OB for sure, though. When I did, she told me that it was a combo of RLP plus the ligs in my hips stretching.  Sometimes it pulls my muscles so that my shoulder and neck hurt too..... good hot showers help me.....mostly

Yes, doc says its normal as long as there is no bleeding. 

It's your muscles, ligaments, and uterus stretching to accomodate the baby.  Drink lots of water and rest when it happens.  It tends to make it less uncomfortable for me.  

GL!

Thanks for the responses. I feel so much better knowing that this is just one other pregnancy "thing".

thank you for posting this and for all the replies as well. I just got this feeling this morning and have been minorly freaking out. I have a call in to my dr. but no call back yet.  this makes me feel a lot better that others have had this too with no imminent crisis.  thanks again!
