:) I'm crampy today

Thread Starter 
So, last night, I felt like I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Nothing abnormal, just this feeling of impending doom. Today, I'm feeling twinges and little cramps. I've taken my supp's, and put on my cream, but I'm so scared. sticky baby prayers for me please?

Try a little Natural Calm magnesium supplement. It is a powder that you mix with water. You should be able to find it at a health food store. It will relax you and your uterus. You can also try Welcome Womb by Wish Garden to quiet your uterus down. I know cramping can be eerie, but it is also very normal.

I know what you mean about being worried.

With my first pregnancy and now with this one I cramped heavily around the time I should have gotten my period and then after for about a week. I was fine the first time and so far so good with this one...although I know what you mean about being worried!

I know my history of 8 miscarriages just makes me notice every twinge and think the worst.

I think the worst, too. But with my daughter, I had cramping quite a bit. At first I thought it was bad news, but I think it's just the uterus stretching. After a while, it almost became reassuring when I'd feel the slight cramping/stretching. I've had a little of that this time around, though it doesn't seem quite as pronounced.

I'll think healthy baby thoughts for you! Take care! And I second the magnesium suggestion. I've tried the Natural Calm drink (it has a sour lemony flavor) and magnesium tablets.

After losing 8 babies though, I don't have the same optimism. I'm NOT sure it's all good, because by now I've had HG in my two live births. SO NERVE WRACKING!
