Pregnant after IF

Terrible Cramping

Hey Gals,

Have any of ya'll experienced really bad, consistent cramping? Its been going on all day. It's really painful and I'm balled over in bed, Tylenol not helping.

I'm 12 weeks, saw the baby at apt yesterday and all was good. I haven't had any spotting associated with the cramps. If I hadn't seen my baby's heart beating and wiggling yesterday I'd be booking an u/s asap w/ dr.

Has anyone experienced cramps like this? Thoughts on what could be happening. WWYD? Thanks

  • I read online that this is around the time the baby "comes out of the pelvis" so it might be normal. If it doesn't let up by tomorrow I'll ask to get worked in. You know, its just out of ordinary and I'm freaked.

  • I had HORRIBLE cramping around that same time, and it was round ligament pain in the end, but I went in to be seen anyway. I would just give them a call. I hope you start feeling better!

  • Have you been drinking a ton of water?  If the cramping is terrible, then I'd call right away and not wait.  

    Round ligament pain cramping felt like it was more on the sides of my belly/uterus and down low.  I also have cramping if I'm not drinking enough (my nurse wants me to drink 100 oz a day, which is a struggle for me).  But I'd definitely call if any pain was in the "terrible" stage.

  • I had some bad cramping around week 14. Like PP said, I think it has something to do w your ute moving or growing.

    Can you drink some water, rest with your feet up and call your OB if its still bothering you?

  • Thanks ladies. I decided to err on the side of caution and call OB. They told me to come in immediately and I'm waiting in the office to be seen. Prayers.

  • I've never had that severe of cramping, so I would call your dr.

    Also, this might be a TMI question, but could you be constipated? It's obviously a s/e of pregnancy, and if it's severe enough can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. Just a thought!
