    I started cramping today. I chalked it up to stretching because I'm not having any other symptoms. Let me know what your doctor says if you hear back!

  • Definitely your uterus stretching !! I had them bad with my first pregnancy, this pregnancy I have them, but don't notice them near as much.
  • I had cramping and bleeding weeks 16-22! Partial placenta previa. Cramping usually followed increased activity but baby is totally unphased. Watch for bleeding, otherwise it could be stretching as the other ladies have suggested. Is baby moving about?

    I totally understand! Been having those too lately... Sometimes they feel like I'm being stabbed.OB says they're round ligament pains,due to uterus stretching...just watch out for bleeding.Tylenol helps with mine.Good luck!
  • From what I can feel the baby is moving. I have anterior placenta don't I don't feel him as often. But I was thinking stretching. The doctor said it could be stretching uti bowels. Told me to keep an eye on it the next 2 days drink lots of water and rest. So we'll see what happens In the next few days. I'm thinking stretching though. Thanks ladies!
