1st Trimester

How much cramping is normal?

I’m 8+2 days and I’m getting a fair amount of cramping today :| Even on and off in my back and also when I sit down it almost feels as if I’ve got pressure in my vagina/lower belly.. once I’m sat down it feels fine it’s just the initial sitting down. I’ve run to the toliet a fair amount of times today thinking I’m bleeding. It feels a bit different to the cramps I got at 3-6 weeks pregnant? I’m worrying and not sure if it’s normal I never remember cramping in my back with my daughter. I’ve not had anymore spotting since around 6 weeks.

Re: How much cramping is normal?

  • I’m feeling the exact same way today and I’m 8+2 as well. Did they eventually stop?

  • Cramping can get really painful. I’m at 10 weeks and still cramp on and off. Sometimes it’s so bad that all I can do is lay down. 

    My suggestions when cramping that might help: magic bag, like warm compress helps wether it’s on your tummy or back, lying down on your left side with a pillow in between your legs and bringing your knees closest to your tummy like your hugging yourself, watching tv or playing games that distract you from the pain. 

    Wishing you nothing but the best, good luck and stay strong
