Anyone else feeling crampy?

[NotBroken]

I feel like I am having period cramps, not anything really painful or major, but just a dull pain around my pubic bone.

Anyone else feeling like this?

[Theoretica]

YES!

Ugh.

[sheriwx]

Me too. Whew, glad to see others are having this also!

[shoefairy3]

yes, and like my lower abs are taut. I can't even sleep on my tummy anymore, already

[NotBroken]

Oh thank you guys! So many things I don't remember about the last successful pregnancy!

I've had lots of mild achy cramps. And uncomfortable cramps after DTD. Now at 7 weeks they seem to be less frequent.

Uhm... I get these when I need to have a really big bowel movement. But I don't think that's what you mean...

I was very crampy for a week after my BFP. Now it is more like a twinge of pain in my ligaments...do you think they could be trying to stretch already? It happens if I move too fast or cough too hard. Weird.

[expat-mama]

I got those sharp twinges a couple of times when I moved or strained suddenly. They really suck! And I had horrible cramps after DTD a week or so ago and because of a small subchorionic hematoma bleed I've been put on "pelvic rest" and told to try to take it a little easier. Since the hematoma bled partly out, I've been having fewer and less painful cramps and taking it easy definitely helps that. But the "pelvic rest" part is getting annoying.
My doc said that it's really common for women to have left over blood or small clots in the uterus from implantation and that often causes some cramps in addition to the uterus stretching and the babe digging deeper into the lining in the beginning. I try not to worry about the cramping.

Yes! I've been having cramps constantly. Mostly mild to moderate, but sometime enough to force me to go lie down . . . but sometimes they occur when I'm lying down, too. To add insult to injury, I'm getting round ligament pain as well. *sigh* I saw my doc on Monday about them and he did a u/s on two different machines - everything's fine - and then he prescribed me magnesium which seems to be helping. I am soooo looking forward to the second trimester.

[maranapanda]

I got 'em here. All kinds of crampy/ ligament pain. Whoo whoo!

[dana76]

I've had pretty much constant cramping since 11 dpo. I mean, I keep going to the bathroom expecting to see red. My ob said it was normal, but it just feels scary!!!

[Lauren82]

I've had cramps too and they last almost the entire day. I'm also really gassy and bloated so that doesn't help either.

[ScarletBegonias]

i have a lot less cramping than with my other pregnancies, but it's still there, or maybe my body is so used to it, the cramps don't register. i like to feel them though!

[mamakaryn08]

Definitely having some cramping, it started almost immediately after conception, I didn't need to take a test to know I was pg. :-) I have had a lot of other symptoms too but two days before I got my first BFP (3w3d) I had the ligament pains already and then I REALLY knew!

I'm still nursing DS (20 months) and notice cramping at times during nursing sessions but not every time. It happens at pretty random times throughout the day, lasts about 30 seconds or so and then goes away.

Ahh... so that's round ligament pain? First pregnancy, so I wasn't sure! Yep, having that too when I make sudden movements, like switching positions during naps! On another website they described round ligament pain as "The pain is internal, but if you were to trace it on your skin, it would follow the bikini line on a very high-cut bathing suit." That helped me figure out what it was.

[Surfacing]

Yeah I'd say I'm having round ligament pain too on occassion but not other cramping. I can still lie on my stomach in bed a bit, but when I went for a massage yesterday it was too uncomfortable.

This pregnancy feels different than my others. Instead of a ton of physical twinges and pains, right now I just feel a lot of SLEEEEEPINESS....

[phriendly_mama]

I am having these cramps too. My edd is July 15th which would put me around 5 weeks 1 day today.. It almost feels like my period could come rushing out of me at any moment. Totally not cool. It woke me up at 3:30am and I had to take a warm bath to feel better.
I really hope these are good cramps. I am freaking out over every twinge since I had a m/c in July.

[welsh]

I had constant cramps and was totally convinced I was going to m/c until I googled galore and found out it was normal. They seem to have stopped in the past 48 hrs but the nausea has begun. Yuk.
I'm 7 weeks today! Woo!

[mommytoallh]

Me I keep thinking I am going to see af any minute. But they are a little more dull than af cramps. they have been coming & going since 10 dpo.
