anyone else with non-stop stomach twinges?

Hey Everyone,

Found out last Thursday (4 days before suspected period) that we were expecting. I took a early pregnancy test because my belly wouldn't stop aching.   My lower stomach kept pulling/twisting/cramping enough to be a bother, but not real pain. It hasn't stopped since.  Every once in a while there is a twinge that suprises me a bit, but just still discomfort. While it is a little unnerving, I am hoping it is just all normal since there is no spotting or real sharp pains.

anybody else feel like they are constantly about to get their period or having insides twisted about? It's a little weird and scary....

    Raises hand!

    I've been told this is normal. I mentioned it to my doctor last week and they said it's only bad if it's very painful and accompanied by spotting.

    Yes, I think it's completely normal. I think if you notice any spotting or if the pain gets to a point where it's really bad (worse than AF-type crmaps) then you should maybe call ur doc just to be sure.

    I am experiencing stomach twitches and lower back issues. I also keep thinking I am going to get my period, but it has been 75 days. I have had many BFN tests. I keep on thinking maybe the pregnanancy tests are not working, but who knows.

    Congrats!!! :)

    Yeah I'm feeling occasional PMS type cramps, and it is unnerving but as PP said, it's only something to worry about if it's severe with spotting/bleeding, so i'm trying to stay calm. :)

    I have the very same thing... almost like very very mild P        MS cramps. I asked both my doctor and my sister about this and they said it's 100% normal. I've been having them for about a week now and they are getting less frequent. Read this article about Round Ligament Pain:

    It made me feel much more optimistic about what I am feeling.

    I have had twinges/little electric pulls since about 10DPO.  I got my BFP at 12DPO.  Nothing has been painful...it's more weird than anything else.

    I definitely have those twinges you are talking about!

    I was told that its your uterus and all those muscles starting to stretch and loosen up.

    I dont feel any pain at all, just discomfort as if I'm getting my period. I feel it more at night for some reason.

    Maybe because I'm not on my feet and am actually trying to relax!

    I have been having these types of pains since the very beginning and now at week 11 I am still having the occassional pain, etc. I have found that if I drink enough water that the cramps, pulling feeling is much less noticeable. I asked my OB and she said that any time you don't drink enough water during pregnancy you are going to feel cramp-like, contraction-like feelings. If you stay well hydrated your risk of braxton-hicks goes down considerably.

    Thanks guys! This board is awesome :)

    I'm  guess normal and these are all good signs!  I can't see a doctor for two more weeks for my first visit,  but I feel way less stressed now after hearing everyone experiences. cheers!
