mild cramping..round lig pain or what?

So ever since we found out we were expecting last week I have been experiencing very mild cramps. They arent bad enough to where I want to take any pain relief medicine but they are annoying. I felt like this was going on too often (2-3 hours 3-4 times a day) for it to be just one baby and figured it was twins.

This was confirmed on Tuesday at my first u/s. Based on my blood work the week before he put me at about 8 weeks but now that we know it was twins and their u/s measurements place them at 7 weeks today. My question is did any of you ladies have more frequent pains like this? I am terrified of miscarrying. I never went through this much annoying pain with my other two pregnancies. I am not bleeding or anything either. Am I just being a worry wart? I feel like a new mom all over again.

  • I did. mine were about half the severity of AF cramps... every day... if you've seen them after the cramps, I wouldn't be worried...

  • I had a lot of annoying cramping throughout the 1st and 2nd tris. My OB explained it as my uterus expanding and RLP. Definitely call your doctor if you're concerned, but if he/she isn't concerned try not to be. I understand the feeling, though; I also spent a lot of my 1st tri worrying that every little pain was a sign of miscarriage....but everything turned out fine. GL!

  • Thank you! I think I just needed some reassurance that this is normal.
  • The only pregnancy in which I *didn't* have early cramping ended in a miscarriage.  I would assume you are fine and your uterus is just working on expanding.

  • I had cramps that felt like AF cramps for a few weeks in the beginning.
