Cramping at 12 weeks?

I haven't had much cramping since around 5 weeks, but woke up today (12w1d) with cramps.  They have been constant for the last 2 hours.  Not severe, but concerning me anyway.  I just saw baby yesterday at my NT scan, so all was still good then.  How much cramping should I be concerned about?  I *think* I remember my dr. telling me to call if I had cramping for more than 2 hours, but can't remember for sure.  What has your cramping experience been?

  • It may just be your ute stretching, it's going through a lot right now. I've had cramping on and off my entire pregnancy, sometimes daily. I'm currently 35w3d and going strong :)

  • I had something very similar happen - I had some cramping early on - like maybe until 5 or 6 weeks, then it went away. Then it came back around 11-12 weeks and I had it for a few days. It's gone again. I just had my NT on Wednesday and it went well! I think things are just stretching out.

  • Try to drink plenty of water and take it easy today, I found that it helped a lot with the stretching and RLP. If you're still cramping later perhaps give the OB a call to see if they suggest anything else. I'm sure it's just the growing pains as PP's have said :)

    All of this, water helps me but I would call in if it's continuing.

    This! I totally hear ya, though, that any kind of cramps can be alarming with PGAL brain. When I start cramping, I drink a big glass of water, walk around for a bit, and then get off my feet. The walking around part is my personal method to break-up the anxiety running through my head - get a change of scenery, etc. Otherwise I will sit still and think those nightmare-ish thoughts of "what if," which are totally not necessary at this time!

  • Thanks for the replies! I drank a massive amount of water this morning and tried to rest for a few minutes before being on my feet all day at work. They faded and I'm feeling better. It's one of those things that I *know* can be normal, but really messes with your head.
