Cramping

AYMS00 · July 2013

I'm at 4wks3d and have been having cramping off and on. Nothing major but just enough to know something's a little different. It makes me nervous! Is anyone else having this??

samjen2010 · July 2013

I've had slight cramping the last couple of days. I'm about a week behind you.

solarsista7 · July 2013

I also have cramping

I don't remember this with my first. It's like a constant dull ache.

LaurenC109 · July 2013

I've been getting dull cramps from time to time. I was worried at first, but I was told that its nothing to be concerned about unless it doesn't stop or if it becomes sharp pains.

I have been having cramping, too. My ob nurse said that it is totally normal, and sometimes gets worse with subsequent pregnancies. I don't remember cramping this much with my other pregnancies.

I have been cramping too, more so than I did with my first pregnancy. Does anyone know if certain foods that cause gas/bloating, can cause you to cramp more?

sarahm7310 · July 2013

Same here. Pretty dull and low cramping - just off and on.

littlesocks · July 2013

I've been having cramping here and there over the past week or two. Whenever I get them I drink a ton of water and they stop.
I'm not sure if the water and cramping have any correlation because I drink a lot through the day, but when I get cramps ill chug more water and they go away.

sunlavender · July 2013

Yes. I've had light cramping on and off since about 10dpo. Nothing like regular cramps, but enough to let me know something's going on.

I've been having some mild cramping on an off for the last few days. It has been very minor, but I don't remember any of this with my first. I'm just trying to drink plenty of water and rest when I can. I think its very common though.

Alliezsiga · July 2013

I have been getting slight cramps on and off. My doctor said that its not something to worry about and it's fairly common.

Andrewsgal · July 2013

Yep me too. It seems worse with each pregnancy. It is totally normal.

Guephy · July 2013

I have mild cramps too. I tought it was related the c-section that I had for my first pregnancy because I didn't experienced that the first time.

Yesterday my lower back was painfull too. I felt like my pelvic bone was about to split in two. And today everything seems ok. Anyone else had something like that?

Navy_Redhead · July 2013

I've had some slight cramping, but I remember it being worse with my first. I've also been trying to drink lots of water, so I think that may be helping.

justi_underwood · July 2013

I've been having them on and off. Doc says its perfectly normal

If you are not drinking enough fluids they would probably be worse.

Cramps (dull, achy) are totally normal and they come and go. I think mine lasted a few weeks last time and then went away (but then came other pains - also totally normal).

maelic · July 2013

I'm definitely crampy, nurse said it's normal. Sharp pain might be a problem and bleeding definitely is, but cramps are normal!

twohunts · July 2013

I'm in the same boat with the cramps. I don't mind them though...makes me think something good is going on in there.

Thanks for the suggest of drinking more fluids! I thought I was drinking a lot already, but I doubled it up today and it made a big difference. I'm happy to know these types of craps are normal, I hardly ever cramped with my first pregnancy so I was a little worried.. Thanks again for the advice

Luck Be A Lady · August 2013

I've had some cramping, and I did with my previous pregnancies as well. If I recall, the Dr. told me it was just mild uterine stretching - making room for growth.

mileswithmyles · August 2013

I have had cramping too. It felt like PMS cramps initially, but these come and go.

JustBeth · August 2013

Same here

StephNordenmalm · August 2013

I guess ill add to that I have had mold cramps on and off for the past few days. I've been alittle worried about them but the nurse told me its normal and to see how many of you ladies also get them makes me feel better. Thanks for sharing

rrdiva1 · August 2013

I have light cramping on and off throughout the day, just enough to know something is going on.

Marusika · August 2013

Pregnancy cramps are normal, If they aren`t heavy cramps.

Katiecave · August 2013

Oh my gosh this makes me feel so much better. It was really freaking me out that I was cramping... But it the same "not to worry" mild dull pain cramps on and off that you all are talking about. Sigh of relief!

Tomsbabyboo · August 2013

I have been having pretty moderate AF-like feeling cramps, intermittently since about 12DPO. I hate them and they make me nervous. I had them throughout my pregnancy with my son too so I hope that it's nothing!

boomer88 · August 2013

I've been having moderate (but very uncomfortable) period like cramps...which has been making me nervous. I called the doctor and of course they just said to go to the ER if I see any blood, otherwise its probably fine I feel nervous every time I go to the bathroom that I'm going to be bleeding! Glad to hear other people have cramps.
