Cramping and scared... typical PGAL?

Hopeful Bumbie

I haven't had any bleeding and I had a lot of cramping in my first few weeks. I haven't had so much cramping lately then last night my breast tenderness wasn't there and cramping this morning. I'm so so scared right now.

 

I'm so afraid of miscarriage! Is this normal PGAL behavior? I know cramping is normal in pregnancy and that breast tenderness can come and go. I just hate being a PGAL. Every little thing freaks me out! I heard the heartbeat this week so that's really really positive. I just have to keep thinking positive.

 

Encouragement and support needed please!!!

 

Hope

During the first tri your ute goes from the size of a walnut to about the size of a grapefruit. That's gonna hurt! I remember with my first one being really worried about the cramping, but try not to be too concerned unless they become more painful than your worst period cramp, rythmic, and/or accompanied by blood. ((hugs)) PgAL screws with our heads and it sucks.

((hugs)). It's so hard being PGAL. I have cramped off and on and every time I do, I panic a little. I chug water and lay down in hopes that it will go away. I know that supposedly its your uterus stretching and baby getting comfy but it's tough! I hear ya!

Thank you! You are both probably right. It does have to grow to fit a WHOLE baby!!

Cramping is normal as long as you are not doubling over in pain, that is what my doctor told me. Also, symptoms can come and go. I know my breast soreness has come and gone before. Try not to worry too much, I know that is easier said than done being PgAL though, (((HUGS)))

Thanx everyone! I AM freaking out because I've been cramping pretty much since last night. I wish It would just go away so I could relax! I hate being a PGAL! Last time around it was soooooo much easier!! Even when I was spotting I was optimistic. Here I'm not spotting thank G-d and I'm still freaking out!!
