Cramping at 22 weeks?

Hi ladies. I'm just curious if getting mild cramping in the uterus area at 22 weeks is normal? Baby is very active so i know he is fine. No bleeding or anything out of the ordinary. Just a little cramping. Could it be growing pain? It comes for a good long while and then it goes for a bit. And then it comes back but not any worse which is good. It's just a little uncomfortable.

    Sometimes I feel pressure, and it lasts for a while. My best guess is that baby is moving and stretching different areas. Does that sound like what could be happening?

    Could you possibly be having braxton hicks?

    I'm 22 weeks and have been experiencing Braxton hicks contractions regularly for about 4 weeks. Try drinking a big glass of water and laying down on your left side. Dehydration can cause contractions/cramping.

    Thanks ladies. It could be him moving and stretching. I can't feel to much cause i have that anterior placenta. But just enough to know he's there. And it could have been braxton hicks and dehydration. I never drink enough water. Thanks ladies. I feel better this morning thank goodness.

    I've been having contractions. My doc says dehydration or a full bladder can cause them. Which kinda makes me laugh because it's one extreme or the other that I find myself in; dehydrated or drinking so much I have to pee all the time. 

    My my doc said not to worry unless they're regular and frequent, which they aren't. Hope this helps to reassure you.

    Thank you jensou. I am the same way. Either getting to much fluid or not enough. I feel like you can never get a good balance.

    I get cramps anytime I have a full bladder. I go to the bathroom and they almost instantly go away.

    Yes, they haven't lasted long at all and only happen every couple days but I've been having these too.
