Cramping?!??

Kristib1985

Anyone else having “mild” but pretty consistent cramps? When I’m sitting, it feels like a very light period cramp, when I stand it’s more of a pulling sensation.

Everyone (including my doc) says it’s “normal” but I don’t remember this with my first.

Thoughts?

I've been experiencing some very light cramping as well and I like to think it's the baby snuggling in and getting comfy in there! I wouldn't worry unless it's accompanied by bleeding. It's so hard to stay positive in the first trimester, especially while waiting for the first appointment.

I’ve had some cramping for the past 3-ish days too! I agree with the response above- I keep telling myself as long as it isn’t followed by any bleeding it’s probably fine! Mine has been similar to period cramps, nothing too intense. I know it’s so hard, but I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

I’ve been cramping for the last 5 days. It seems to be worse when I’m sitting down or laying in the fetal position. Everything I’ve read says it’s fairly normal unless their is bleeding or it’s severe.

It’s normal. Just listen to your body and rest. Lots of changes in our bodies going on. ❤️

I felt this too last week and it was really consistent but no bleeding, I didn't remember having this with my first pregnancy, but have been told it's probably just the uterus stretching and getting ready to grow the baby

Yep! Mine come and go and feel a little more like it’s in a targeted spot than like whole uterus cramps (like they would be pre-period). My sister said that’s a great sign and had that with all 4 of her babies! Like someone else mentioned, I think it’s a sign baby getting really implanted nestled in there ❤️
