Paranoid!

[welsh]

I'm having a teeny bit of AF cramping. Not even really cramping, more like twinges.
A bit of back ache too and also, I had to urgently get to the bathroom today when I was out and had diarrhea (tmi! sorry!)
Normal or should I get checked out? No bleeding.

I don't have any advice. If you are concerned that maybe you should call someone. Is it possible that your cramping was solely do to the diarrhea? Try to relax, rest, and look for other signs. Could just be something you ate.

Good luck, and keep us posted!

It's pretty normal to get AF cramping in early pregnancy. Some get it, some dont. Right now I'm having a more "aware" cramping. So kinda like AF cramps but not painful. Just enough to know that something is going on.

I have the same thing, and i had the same thing with my last pregnancy too. I think it is pretty normal to have cramping in the first several weeks, and i had diarrhea a lot when i was pregnant last time, and so far this time too.

I'm having what I assume is round ligament pain, and diarrhea. It's not been sharp enough pain to concern me, though. But I totally get the paranoia. I do have to think about it each time I feel it, before dismissing it. And I'm still looking at the toilet paper every single time I pee (so, you know, eleventy million times a day).

Unless you are having cramping AND bleeding, there is really nothing to worry about. And even then, some women (like me!) have cramping and bleeding and still end up with perfectly healthy babies (but really shot nerves!) Honestly, if you called your provider with those symptoms they probably wouldn't even see you. So just put your feet up and try to relax!

I am having these symptoms too, straight down to the paranoia. I don't think you're alone in that at all. My minor cramping comes and goes now, and it is more like what others have said.

I am so there.

elevated pg progesterone levels (a good thing), can cause diarrhea. so, totally normal, but yes, gross!

Also having AF symptoms - cramping, teeny bit of nausea, backache. No blood, though. And like PP, I am also checking the toilet paper, expecting that blood. It just doesn't seem real!

I feel like I want to POAS everyday to make sure that I'm still pg!
It really does not feel real....

[PugMom4Now]

I'm in the checking toilet paper constantly and wanting to POAS everyday camp as well! I just want the weeks to progress quickly so I can start to really feel pregnant or see a belly or something.

I'm meeting my BFF for the weekend in Berlin so she's going to bring me a test in English!
LOL! 2 lines is 2 lines in any language but I'll feel better doing a digital one that says PREGNANT!
First time away from DS too....oh I am going to be in tears!!
