Cramping/aches at 16w??

mrs.beauprez · January 2009

Is this normal? I had it last night pretty consistent all night. I had some more tonight too. Is this the ligament pain and stretching of my ute still? I asked my friend who had a baby already and she said she never had any cramping or aches. So that worried me. Tell me this is normal? I have not bleeding and the crampies are tolerable so not too bad.

I had pretty hard cramping around that time; No bleeding either... I think it's ligament pain.... is it sharp pains on the sides?

Its mainly on my sides, yes. And when I sneeze OUCH. Its just a dully all over cramp tonight. Still not horrible but noticeable.

I had lots of aching/cramps until like 18 weeks. I was worried too and the perinatologist and my ob said it was normal. Just try to take it easy and make sure you are staying very hydrated. I found my cramping was less when I was more hydrated.
