My husband and I finally got HEAR the heartbeats of our little twins

So epic because we have never made it this far. ( 2 prior miscarriage at 6.5) I also for last couple of days I have been cramping at night.. I guess it's the babies growing ? cramping is normal right? I pray

but I just wanted to share with everyone !!

I cramped all the time with my twins, I'm sure it's normal but definitely worth mentioning to your OB if you are worried.

Cramping is definitely normal. Congrats on hearing the heartbeats! Such an amazing sound

Congrats and welcome. Hearing the HB is such a wonderful milestone. Cramping isn't uncommon, but with your previous losses, I would definitely let your OB/GYN know, he/she may want to keep a closer eye on you. I cramped with DS1 pretty much the entire 1st trimester.

Congrats!

I've had off and on cramping (more so at the beginning of my pregnancy) that just felt more uncomfortable but not painful - think tightening or twinges.

Over the past 2 days though I had painful cramping to the point I couldn't stand upright yesterday morning. I called my CNM and she talked to me about it, wasn't too concerned, but told me if I didn't have relief with some of the at home remedies she ok'ed over the phone to call back to elevate to next steps.

If you're worried, I wouldn't think twice about calling. My CNM told me she would much rather I call about something that turned out not to be a big deal, if for nothing else to reduce my anxiety/stress level from worrying about it.

Congrats on hearing the heartbeats!

I cramped from right before my BFP (thought I was about to get my period) to about 10ish weeks. Now I get more RLP on and off. It is normal but if you are really concerned I would call your OB.

Congrats and welcome! Perfectly normal to cramp as long as their is no blood accompanied with it.

I had some very impressive cramps in first tri. They were also the worst at night. Congrats and welcome!

I cramped in the beginning of my pregnancy too. I think it's normal to have light cramping as long as there's no blood and you aren't doubled over in pain.
