Is any one crampy?

[muttmom92]

Hi. I just posted my intro above. I'm 10 dpo today and have gotten 3 positive tests, including a digital, but I feel like AF is coming. I remember having cramping in the beginning with dd, but I'm feeling kinda paranoid. So, is anyone else cramping?

I've had cramps with every pregnancy before and around the first bfp. With AF, I usually get cramps *after* I start, so this is different. Plus, often my cramps end with burps and indigestion. I'm 4 weeks 3 days, and still have occassional side twinges.

Hope that comforts you a little.

Yup, I had cramps for weeks with DS, and i'm cramping on and off now too...

Mostly just hovering over the toilet though so i'm sure that has alot to do with the cramping. Sometimes I think morningsickess would be a little less...EVIL...lol.

This morning my entire hip/pubic area was aching across my lower back.
I didn't record this online anywhere to re-read, but I KNOW I had alot of hippain during early preg, went away for awhile, and was back again full-on from like 5m on until labor.

And I was weird I guess. labor felt like jumper cables had been hooked up to my hips. Never felt pain in my belly...just awful awful aching hips. LOL.

I've heard it's pretty normal around O time & when implantation occurs.

I had cramps about a week after my bfp, and 2 weeks later, I'm still preg. So yes, cramps are normal, as long as there's not a bunch of bleeding to go along with it!

Just jumping in from October to say that I also had cramping with all three of my babies. I'm 13 weeks tomorrow with this little one and cramped up until about 9 weeks, if I remember correctly. It was similar with my two boys as well.

I had some mild cramping last week but now I just feel lots of energy (and mild tightening/pulling kinds of feelings) in my belly.

How are you feeling tonight, Amy?

Sorry my post was so short. I didn't mean it to sound insensitive, I just had a fussy baby but wanted to say something.

I forgot to add in my post that you should pound the water & take it easy, as much as possible.

Let us know how you're doing.

Thanks for all the encouraging replies! I'm only feeling some very mild cramps off and on now. I feel pretty good. I'm also feeling some stretching sensations around my hips which I'm taking as a good sign.

I took another digital test yesterday and I was positive. I'll probably get another kind of test today because I'm crazy like that.

Shannon- I didn't think you sounded insensitive at all. Thanks for thinking of me. We've had a really busy weekend so I wasn't near the computer to reply.

Amy - the stretching around the hips is probably the round ligaments, just in case you weren't aware (which you probably are, since your sig indicates you have a little one already ). I had a bunch of that this time around... Moreso than with my last two. My mom (previously an OB nurse) said that these things get started earlier on every time - sometimes because we're more aware and also because our stomach areas are changed from the first pregnancy. And if that's the case I'm glad this is my last one. Because I tell you, I was in maternity pants by seven weeks this time around

All the best

I had a positive test yesterday and for the last 3 days I have had horrendous cramps! I had cramps with dd too, for the first week or so, I'm hoping it lets up soon!

I've been having cramps too, which scares me cause I think it's another ectopic. It's soooooo nice to hear that other people are having cramps too!!! I don't remember having them with DD, but I'm sure I probably did!
