Cramps!?!?!?!

I have been experiencing a lot of cramping. This is my second pregnancy and I don't remember having them this bad last time. I don't have any bleeding so I'm not too concerned. Is anyone else experiencing this as well? 

Re: Cramps!?!?!?!

  • Yes, and I don't remember RLP so early either. The 2 together is enough to double me over.

  • I've been having some light cramping. I don't know if it's psychosomatic, since I just found out, but it feels like a fullness or pressure. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us.

  • Cramps are normal. A lot of the ladies have been discussing them in the weekly symptoms thread.
  • Cramps are normal, as long as there's no bleeding.  I've had them off and on.  Your uterus is getting ready to stretch to the size of a watermelon ;). They do freak me out a little every time they happen though.

  • Cramps up in here too! I'm more concerned that mine are related to prior c section and scar tissue... Just another new thing to navigate this pregnancy! 

  • @Jparisi926 I'm worried that my cramps are related to my c section too! I've been having pain on the scar area on my skin, but my pain never fully went away.

  • I cramped so bad with my first I was wearing a pad swearing af was on the way. 

    Likewise, I have a friend who went to the hospital for what she thought were severe period cramps only to have an ultrasound show she was 6 and half weeks pregnant and her baby had a healthy heartbeat. 

    Drink lots of water and slow down. 
  • Loads of cramps! I had them with Dd 1 too. 
  • @kellyt22 same. I've been using magnesium oil on the incision site for a few months and felt better. Back with a vengeance as we stretch!
  • One of my friends told me she knew she was pregnant because she had her usual bad menstrual cramps when her period should have started but no bleeding. I have been experiencing the same thing, but even though I know she went through that, and had a healthy baby, I've found myself questioning them. There just seems to be something in us that becomes paranoid when we know we are carrying a little life in us. It helps to see other's worrying over it as well so I know I'm normal!

  • Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I've had light cramps which I haven't worried to much about, but last Saturday I had to leave a party because of bad cramps that had me bent over. They only lasted around 15 minutes and then I felt normal, so hubby and I decided it must be gas (he'd had similar bad cramps that same day), but It has still been in the back of my mind. Looking forward to seeing my midwife and knowing everything's OK.
