I had the same problem for 16 weeks. I was prepared for the worst every time I went to the bathroom. I didn't have any cramping during the prenancy I lost so it was so odd to have full blown cramps for 16 weeks.
Sending prayers to your little one. Keep growing. And don't do it again universe or I will 'F' you up. This lady needs a sibling for Scout!!

Those cramps are normal growing pains for sure (just keep saying this cause I am!). No really, they for sure are and this IS your take-home baby. I can't wait to hear about great betas later.
I had bad AF cramps in weeks 4-5 with this pregnancy. They can be a good (though not enjoyable) thing. Hang in there, and good luck with today's betas!
I'm late to this post but just wanted to add that I also had really bad cramps at first - something about your ute growing. (((hugs))) Can't wait for those betas!!

I know that this probably really freaks you out and that there is really nothing anyone can say to reassure you completely, but I think that I along with most of the other ladies on this board had cramping early on as well. I had lots of cramps, especially up until about 6 weeks (I found out at 3w3d). I got on progesterone supplements and definitely noticed the cramping stopped. We are holding on to hope for you!!!
I had AF like cramping from the beginning. I also had bleeding with clots (very scary), but everything was ok. I think I even had cramping off and on through week 13. As much as this board assured me it was normal, I still worried until it was a distant memory. Hang in there in the meantime and know we are here if you need support.
I'm thinking very good thoughts for you today as you wait for results. Good luck and hugs, girl.
Good luck with those betas!!! I had AF-like cramping from weeks 4-7, so I know how nervous you must be. Hoping and praying that's just your little baby getting all nice and cozy for the next nine months.
I don't think I've congratulated you yet Allison (I was on vacation for 2 out of the past 3 weeks) and I wanted to let you know how excited I am for you Cramping it totally normal!!! Pg. gas can be as bad as the worst AF cramps so try to stay positive. Everything looks great so far!
