Cramping anyone??

I've noticed if I dont drink enough water I get crampy amd super achey. That's when I'm like omg I need to drink some water and it takes forever for them to go away at that point.

Has anyone had period like cramping on one side? I woke up with bad cramping in the middle of the night. It was really bad(I did always get bad period cramps) and I could barely sleep. It's still here this morning, but much more dull.

Have you had a US to confirm the placement yet? Maybe baby is on your left side?  If you have not and the pain continues I would maybe consider making an appt to make sure it is not ectopic. I have had random cramping here and there but nothing severe or as bad as menstrual cramps. Good luck!

I have had 2 ultrasounds so fairly certain it's not ectopic. Still some cramping, but very minor now, so hopefully it doesn't get severe again.

I had cramps with both my kids.  I haven't yet with this one until last night I was on my stomach and woke up and it was bad I flipped to my back and then it was burning.   Having increased cramps today.  Had my appointment scheduled today but we are in the middle of an ice storm and the clinic closed.  Trying to take it easy.  I'm kind of a worry wart while I am pregnant you being my third time this would be a breeze.... glad I'm not the only one

how far along are you @Kathryn0903? I'm 10 weeks and my midwife said it's the start of round ligament pain and normal cramping as the uterus starts moving up. Mines bad on my left as well.

@JWatt5 I'm 11 weeks 5 days. I wish I had this cramping when I was in Thursday but the bad cramping didn't start till last night.

@Kathryn0903 - that's also the side that you'll get pressure from your bowel if you are having some constipation. I literally hurt right now between not being able to make a bowel movement for 4 days and sitting in my car. If my bladder is full it's worse. Suggestion I got was if changing your sitting position lessens or gets rid of the pain (or going to the bathroom), try not to worry. No blood is a good thing. The pain/cramping I had at the beginning of my pregnancy, I thought there was no way in hell the baby was ok...and he/she is just fine, it's just me that's hurting  I hope it gets better for you soon!!

I usually sit in the bath it helped a lot.
