Pregnant after a Loss

cramping like feeling & pressure really your uterus stretching??

For the last few days i've been experiencing a fullness & pressure like feeling in my lower belly with the occasional dull cramp. A friend of mine says this is my uterus stretching, but naturally i'm worried.

  • Totally normal.  There's a lot of stretching going on.  I've had achy cramps throughout this pregnancy.  Make sure you're drinking enough water!

  • I have had a ton of that.  For me, first tri was a lot of cramping with a little pressure and second tri has been a lot of pressure with occasional cramping.

  • I have exactly what you are describing, but it started later for me, during second tri. My stomach feels really full and sometimes I get lots of pressure. My OB said it's fine. (He answers all of my worries and complaints that way though!) :)

  • Every single pregnant woman I have ever known has had some degree of cramping, stretching, and pressure. Not just most, ALL OF THEM. Please don't worry, you're in the vast majority here.

  • This is EXACTLY what I have been feeling.  My OB says it's normal too, it just makes me worry so much because during my m/c I had cramps with minimal bleeding.  But it felt way worse and different from the stretching this time.  It's just good to hear others are going through this too.
