I'm 20 weeks FTM and I seem to be having period like cramps everyday now they aren't painful just really uncomfortable ... Is this normal?

    I had some cramping last week and it was just stretching. Mine only lasted a couple days. I looked to see how much baby is supposed to grow between weeks 20 and 21 and it was about 4 inches, so yours may be hitting a growth spurt. I'd call your doctor if it is really worrying you, though. Just for some reassurance.

    Drink a ton, and I mean a ton, of water and lay down on your left side for an hour or so.  It probably is just stretching. Dehydration can lead to cramping.

    Yup, what ^they ^ said. Drink a ton of water, rest, relax, and if you still feel crampy and it has you concerned call your doctor.

    My doctor told me that unless there was bleeding, cramping was normal, and to keep hydrated and rest.

    I don't think they actually grown four inches in a week. They begin to be measured from crown to toes instead of crown to rump. The legs are now included in the measurements.

    That actually makes much more sense. When I saw that on the app I was like holy freaking crap! @-)

    Thought it seemed kind of insane, but I don't know anything about this pregnancy thing so I didn't question it! Haha!
