newbie question -symptoms

in Pregnant after IF
I know some cramping is normal. I think I may have overdone it today with housework, I've got cramps that feel like AF is about to start. How long does this phase last during pregnancy? My RE nurse said if the cramps hurt so much that I can't stand up, then I have to call. It's nothing like that. Just annoying and exhausting. :( Sorry to be a complainer.

    I had a lot of cramps in the beginning- really all of first tri. Your body is changing a lot! if you think you overdid it, rest, put your feet up, and drink a bunch of water.

    Same here, as well as sharp pains on the sides of my stomach, lasted pretty much through the 1st trimester.. totally fine to be extra cautious and take it easy even if they are "normal/common" symptoms to have. Gives u better piece of mind so just rest up and drink plenty of water. *hugs**

    My 1st pg I was so sure my period was coming any minute because they really felt like period cramps. I ran to the bathroom so many times expecting to see blood but ds is almost 3 so it's def just a normal part of pregnancy, especially in 1st tri
