a little worried

[heatherq17]

Ive been feeling mild cramping on and off all day today! Ive had it for awhile now but never lasted all day. The specialist told me its normal all my doctors tell me its normal. I am so tired of hearing its normal I just wish I could be seen!!!! (Ive lost two babies in the past which is why im so nervous) its feels like a tugging kind of cramp them sometimes like my period is going to start but it will be on one side not the other. If the feeling doesnt go away by the morning I am calling me DOC! Just needed to vent a little. Has anyone felt this? I am 11 weeks....

I've had some cramping as well... period like which does make you worry, as I've lost two babies as well.

But from what I've read, as long as there is no bleeding, it is normal. It basically means the baby is growing and things are being stretched...

Here's some sites that helped me...

Abdominal Pain or Discomfort

Cramping

Cramping when Pregnant

I freaked out as well when I first felt the cramping. I thought it was my period coming on, or a miscarriage. But it is quite normal.

Hope this has helped

I hope a doctor will see you, there's nothing like peace of mind. I've lost two as well (maybe we should start a club), and I think it makes you notice these things more than you otherwise would have.


It probably is your uterus stretching.

I feel better today... So I guess it was normal!! *Sighs*

you're welcome after losing babies before, I think it's kinda expected that we freak out over certain things...

Sorry, I'm sure this is a silly question but are you sure it's cramping? Sounds like it could be round ligament pain from the tugging description. Does it feel like maybe you pulled a muscle? Does it get worse if you move suddenly or sneeze or cough?

That's exactly what I was going to say Mrs.A2J... I have that same feeling off and on adn everythingh I've read leads me to believe it's just things growing and stretching down there.

i've not lost any babies, but i understand the fear over cramping. i have had a lot more of it with this pregnancy.
are you drinking enough water? i've noticed on days i'm not drinking enough i have more cramping.

Its feels different each time really. It hurts when Im walking more. Like I went fishing today and did a good bit of walking so I noticed the pain more. But now I feel fine so im thinking its just a growing thing.

Iam not drinking as much as I should be... I really try though, im just not thirsty alot. I am constipated more so maybe that could be it too...

Definitely sounds like growing pains to me. Mine have always gotten worse with walking.
