Im 19 weeks w/ # 1 and have gained a few pounds but don't look super prego yet. I started REALLY feeling baby move over the last few days.
I have been getting this tight, crampy feeling in my lower abd over the last 24 hours (like tight uterus) and aches in my sides (pelvic area). I think it is just the fact the baby is moving and causing discomfort but wanted to know if anyone else felt similar to this?
Since this is my first pregnancy everything is new and scary to me and I worry with the slightest discomfort.
Re: cramps/aches/uncomfortable
i just called my OB with this concern today. when i cramp a little i feel as though my uterus gets rock hard. and then when the cramp goes away, my uterus is normal feeling. she said she thinks it may be braxton hicks. i am supposed to call with anything that persists/extreme discomfort/bleeding/etc.
i dont know if this is the same thing you're describing, but if you're concerned, i'd call just for piece of mind.
