I'm really crampy today.

... and it's kinda freaking me out, which I know is ridiculous, but I never had any cramping with DS at all, and this pregnancy is SO different.

 I can't wait for my ultrasound on Thursday.

chug some water and if you're home, try and lay down. 

Here is a link to a site that I was just on:

here's an excerpt: "The growth of your baby is phenomenal now and your baby's length will double in the next three weeks."

I'd say your cramps are just a sign that baby is growing like a champ!

Every pregnancy is different...

I'm in my 11th week and having some cramping too.  Hopefully it's just the l/o doing some growing.

Me too. I've been pretty crampy since last night. I had cramps with ds, and I remember being freaked out abt it then, too. I've even debated calling the ob, but I know they can be normal- it's just worrisome.

Yes, I am aware of this.  It doesn't make weird cramping any less worrisome.

I had bad cramps with DS that felt like my insides were being ripped apart. This time I don't have cramps as bad. Every pregnancy is different and cramping can be normal. That being said I understand the freak out. At this stage when you can't feel them it is really hard not to over analyze.

Drinking some water seems to help me some. I know its scary, but we're here to help each other through scary times. Hopefully everything is ok

I get more and more cramping with each pregnancy.  I don't get it - you'd think that there would be less cramping because everything is already stretched out.

Nothing helps it for me - no amount of water or rest - so I just eat to make myself feel better (which is why my butt is getting huge already)

Not that this will make you feel better, but I was super crampy all last week too in week 11.  Things are moving around and making room in there.  Definitely drink a bunch of water - hope it goes away soon, I know it sucks.

I'm really crampy too.  It seems worse in the evening.  Is anyone else really thirsty-I drink water constantly and still am feeling dehydrated.

I need to figure out how to make a little ticker.

Oh please.  Your butt is almost non-existent in your siggy pic!

I've also been crampy the last couple of days.  And I have only had one day of cramps prior to this (around 5w).  Our doppler arrived yesterday and we were able to hear the heartbeat, which put my mind at ease.  But it is really weird that it happens all of a sudden.  I have an appt on Friday so I hear ya!
