cramping

RivieraBound

So I am having pretty bad menstrual type cramping.  No spotting yet but I am scarred.  Has anyone had this and it turned out to be fine?  I left a message with the OB nurse but whatever is going on nothing can be done I guess. I almost hit a deer on the way to work this morning and the cramps started right after....

Drink lots of water. I had cramping (and spotting) with both pregnancies in the 1st tri. Actually with my 2nd pg I was cramping so bad at 8 wks they had me come in and have an u/s... and we found out it was twins

This is how my sister found out she was having twins as well.  We all thought she was losing the baby.

Cramping is common during 1st tri. and doesn't always mean something is wrong.  Your body is going through a lot of changes right now.  Drink lots of water and try to take it easy.

This exactly!  I had no cramping with my little guy, but this pregnancy was totally different.  I cramped pretty bad for a good 3 weeks.

I had some cramping in the first trimester- especially for the first 3-4 weeks. I assumed it was my uterus just doing it's thing, everything was ok. Sometimes I felt like my period was coming, though, and I remember it freaked me out a bit.

I had some cramping and spotting at the beginning of this pregnancy. Given my history, it scared the crap out of me too, so I went in for blood work, and all was well.

Good luck, drink lots of water, and keep us updated!

Thanks so much ladies...OB nurse pretty much repeated what yall told me.  Said it was normal and is probably round ligament pain.  She told me to drink more water and avoid exercising, heavy lifting, etc.  The cramps are already subsiding now.

Glad your feeling better! It is amazing how much water you need while pregnant! Get ready to drink a lot and pee a lot!

The other thing is constipation...I was so constipated with my first pregnancy and cramped up a ton from that.
