Feeling like I am about to start my period!?

I was walking into work this morning and my lower abdomen was cramping as if I were getting ready to start my period! It has cramped before but now I just dont feel well. Of course I checked for spotting and I have none. I don't know, maybe I am finally starting to get sick! Anyone else ever feel like that?

    I have been having that alot too. I think it is normal or at least okay :) I vaguely remember it with my first. It totally freaks me out when it happens though! Good Luck and stay positive. Maybe try to take it a little easier! That usually helps me!

    Whew! Glad to know I am not alone!! Of course I haven't been alone with anything. I am a first time mommy and I am just constantly worried about something and I will until I hear it's heartbeat for the first time! I wish I could just take it a little easier but my job keeps me on my toes! I am heading back to the states tomorrow for some much needed vacation time so hopefully it will make me feel better!

    We have the same due date, and looks like we are in a similar situation living overseas!

    Yes, I got cramping too, but more in the beginning, it has gone away a bit more now. Hope everything is alright!

    The day I found out we were expecting I had cramping, very much like what you describe. I was just so positive AF was coming. Turns out, it was implantation!

    I never had spotting either, I wouldn't worry.

    Wow! Prague!! Awesome! Yea, I like living over here but it's going to be hard for my familly to see the baby when it comes. What are you and your husband hoping for as far as gender?

    No, I have thought about getting some maternity clothes while I was back in the states. I am bloated and it sucks! I don't have m/s thank goodness and I wear scrubs while I work so I am really comfortable throughout the day. It's just I am noticing my jeans fitting a little snug and I am very bloated, don't think those 4s are going to be working for me once I get back. I will be 9 weeks when I get back and I won't be back to the states until I am in my 3rd trimester!! So to avoid some unwanted shipping charges I will get what I can while I can.

    I have been cramping that way ever since I got my BFP but in the past couple of days it has subsided and I only get it once in a while.

    At first I had the period cramps too. I'd always check for spotting and not find any. I'd say around week 7 it stopped. Hope this helps.
