Internal Yesterday ... cramping normal?

cromanow · April 2011

I had another internal yesterday (a more mulit fingered 'aggressive' one LOL) and I know from the last few wks that spotting is normal (a littl brown blood - not enough to even fill a liner) ... however I woke up this morning to much more pelvis pain and cramps. The cramps are not regular but I feel them ... wondering if this is just another symptom of the internal or if this could be 'something'?

I haven't had to have an internal yet, you are a bit ahead of me. I'm 36 weeks and I have had irregular cramping all day yesterday and last night. I'm guessing that maybe the cramping is normal and not necessarily a sign of an internal but it probably didn't help. You are over 39 weeks! just rest, drink water and monitor the cramping!

p.s I know I shouldn't be but I am jealous lol! I don't think I can be this miserable another 4 weeks!!!!

I agree. Just monitor the cramping and call your doctor/midwife if you are concerned (they never seem put out by questions). I've been crampy for about a month now... it never turns into anything though! (Not yet anyway.)

Yes, cramping could be normal for 1-2 days after an internal. I would just keep an eye to see if the cramping turns into regular intervals but it could be completely normal.
