Do any of you get a tightening in your uterus/ lower abdomen at all? Almost feels like mild menstrual cramps? Spoke to my dr at my last visit a couple days ago and she checked EVERYTHING and said everything looks fine and baby's heartbeat is perfect, too. I'm still paranoid so I'm wondering if anybody else feels this?
Yep, your dr is being cautious and probably mostly for your peace of mind. Many of us have experienced what we call "lightning crotch" and someone told their dr about it and the dr ordered tests for it, showed nothing abnormal.
Certainly these things could indicate a problem, but they are also so very common that unless they're accompanied with something else that indicates a problem (heavy bleeding for example) then things are probably just business as usual down there.
Glad you are feeling reassured. FTM here too and pgal, so I have had my fair share of nervousness too. All the best
Thank you all! This gives me some peace of mind! It's so weird bc I can literally feel my uterus in a hard little ball and then it relaxes... My dr told me to take it easy for 5 days and then check in with her so it kind of freaked me out. First pregnancies can be scary!!!
Re: Tightening/ mild cramping normal??
