REALLY Bad Cramp?! Scary!

Okay so everyday I'll have a really bad cramp at least twice a day and they feel very different than period cramps and really I didn't think it was anything but literally just right now I had the worst cramp ever! On a scale of one to ten I'd say 8.5 it was horrible. I'm only 4w4d so I'm not really sure what to think about this. I'm also very young and short so maybe that has something to do with it ? I don't know but I don't want to panic or be scared unless I have a really good reason to & really I'm just asking if this is normal or irregular. Please respond ASAP thank you!

    Are you bleeding or passing any clots?

    I wouldn't worry about it unless your spotting. I've had a few painful cramps but no bleeding.

    I had a really a horrible cramp when I was 4wks, it woke me up from a dead sleep and lasted for about 10 minutes. I was in so much pain that I went to try to go to the bathroom and almost passed out. I laid on the bathroom floor after and then it finally went away.
    The next day I called my doctor and she said it was normal as long as it wasn't consistant and there wasn't any bleeding. I'm almost 7wks now, and haven't had it since.

    I was also going to guess gas. It can be extremely painful.

    Any recommendations on how to have less gas ?

    Ugh, the gas. Pregnancy is so glamorous! This is why when I complain about symptoms, DH would ask me if it's from "the baby" or the "poo baby."

    See if there is something in your diet that's causing it. For me, if it gives me s little gas when not pregnant, it causes major bloating and painful gas while pregnant.

    I was just super gassy first trimester. Like it got to the point where DH was annoyed with my constant gas. It isn't necessarily stinky gas but it does need to come out and it does, loudy :)

    Ahhh pregnancy is so magical!

    We are allowed to take Gas-X... the chewable tablets seem to work pretty quick. Lots of water, as well, to move things through.

    Lots and lots of water help to keep things moving and also lessen cramps. You can get stretching cramps that are more noticeable after activity. So - lots of water and try to rest (or fart!) when you get cramps.

    I had really bad cramps for ds and it was usually related to being constipated! I get pregnant and all of a sudden I can only poop 2x a week! Ugh it's terrible! Your uterus growing and stretching can also cause cramping that makes you feel like death! I had to take colace most of my last pregnancy, will prob start that again soon!
