I'm sure this dead horse has been beaten many times... BUT...

How many of you ladies are experiencing cramping still? (no spotting) I'll be 7 wks tomorrow, and I still have cramping. It comes and goes. It's not bad, just... a reminder to me that I have a bun in the oven... Unless it's RLP... No idea what that feels like! Any suggestions?

    I'm 6 weeks and I still have on and off cramping as well... I honestly think it may be RLP, although in nursing they told us that usually doesn't become a problem until 2nd trimester... It's obviouslly ligaments stretching and your uterus growing to prepare for baby.

    I haven't had any noticeable cramping for about a week now, and that freaks me out.  Damned if you do, damned if you don't!  :)

    Yep I have on again off again cramping. Its totally normal as long as there is no bright red blood, but its hard to remember that sometimes!

    Yes!  I forgot how annoying it is.  I have been already getting some cramping and its hard not to be a little worried.

    Still cramping.

    I figure the uterus has a lot of growing to do. Not worried.

    yes today! I actually called out of work today cause it was intense. the cause~ constipated as well as my dr office said that my uterus is just stretching out. of course my dh freaked out a bit cause this is different the my last pregnancy with twins, he is thinking after my betas and progesterone that there might be more than two in there especially with the pain I had this morning... we shall see on 9/21!

    some women have cramping some have none each pregnancy is different!

    h & h 9 months to you

    I have cramping too - and although it is supposed to be normal - I'm so paranoid it's borderline neurotic. I worked myself into a frenzy last night for no reason - checking every 15 minutes for spotting even though I had absolutely no reason to be doing so. I started crying at one point that I was afraid of MCing - I'm not an emotional person so maybe it was hormones. H said I should stay off the internet for the next 9 months - LOL.

    One of my books says the uterus growns from the size of your fist to the size of a large grapefruit in the first 7 weeks - that ought to cause some cramping sensations!

    I'm so glad we are all not alone and are experiencing the same cramping! Even though I have read all the books out there and know the cramping is normal with no blood, with having a m/c before this baby it just gets me all worked up! 
    So excited for our little blessing:)

    I've been used to the mild cramps, but today I've been having sharp pains on and off on my left side...is that also "growing pain"?

    I've been having dull cramping like pressure in my abdomen for 3 days now. Sometimes the pressure just feels like I really need to pee and others it feels like AF cramps.  Yesterday I had a few sharp pin prick like pains that only lasted for a second. 

    I am definitely paranoid.  This morning I haven't had much cramping so I'm paranoid about that too! I agree that it's nice to have each other to freak out with so we know we're normal!

    I am having the same cramping - in my abdomen.  I have had two miscarriages so I am freaking out.  Althoug h with both miscarriages, I had no cramping.  With my first child, I had cramping too but I guess I am just more nervous this time.  It is good to hear everyone experiencing the same thing.
