Anyone feel a bit crampy?

[meggles]

Just curious if anyone is feeling mild uterine cramps/stretching. I wasn't feeling anything of the sort until today.

[BlissP]

I did on Mothers Day. Slightly unnerving, but all seems to be fine...

Yep, have been feeling it on and off for two weeks now. Kinda freaked me out at first, now I'm pretty used to it.

[Carrie Posey]

Yep so much more so than in my pervious pregnancy!

[tannersmommy]

I'm not feeling them this time, but I definitely did with my last pregnancy. Felt just like menstrual cramps. Apparently they are completely normal.

Yes, i am definitely feeling little twinges...i am getting mine mostly on one side (my left side) - and the strange thing is that my left boob is also more sore and sensitive than the right one...

It comes and goes, I felt it a lot during my 4th week. Not near as much now. (in my 6th week)

[earthie_mama]

I get that too, it comes and goes. No worries here.

[mrsfatty]

Yeah...and it's scary for me (since I've had a previous miscarriage)...but so far so good...

cramping and paranoid

i have had two miscarriages in the past. i don't remember cramping like this. i cramp (it feels like in my vagina) i can't really describe it. it feels like the cramps i get when my period first arrives every month. i read on some website that you are not supposed to have cramps after you test postive. i tested positive last friday pm (5/12/06) and i have been cramping mildly since 5/9/06/. i believe the earlier cramps were implantation cramps. i don't know why i cramp now. i have heard that it could be my uterus stretching.

EDD 1/7/07. I have had a mild, achy cramp on my right side for about two weeks now. I told the nurse at my first appointment on May 9. I called again today and am scheduled for a "quick ultrasound to make sure everything's okay" on Thursday. I have had one m/c in the past. We are going on vacation next week and just want to know that everything is fine before we leave.

New here...

I tested positive yesterday (EDD 1/27/07) and have had the period-like cramping since last Thursday--five days ago now, when my period was due.

I've never been pregnant before and don't know what to expect, so of course the cramping freaks me out. We have been dealing with infertility for five years, and this pregnancy, while VERY welcome, is unexpected! We had planned to start IF testing next month.

Update: Had my "quick ultrasound" today. The tech said my pain is probably due to a moderate sized cyst on my right ovary. She said it will most likely "resolve itself". I go for my regular appointment with the Dr. on June 13 and he will check it again. Baby is fine with a heart rate of 146.

I felt pretty crampy last week... but this week pretty much nothing... I just try not to think about it.

[JesiLynne]

Im crampy right now, but I have been in a very uncomfortable chair for a few hours so that might have something to do with it.

[LaborNurse]

Congrats! 5 years-How exciting! Cramping is very norm. My EDD 1/26/07 and I have been crampy for a week now. Have history of miscarriage at 6 wks so although I know alot about pregnancy-its still very scary to me. I can tell you that I hope I dont stop for at least a few weeks. Or at least before I begin a new symptom. Funny Huh? The reason being if you suddenly stop having symptoms for a couple of days, then you should put your guard up. With my miscarrage, I stop having symptoms and three days later miscarried. So for now, I smile when I cramp. So should you!

I feel just like AF is coming. I keep half-expecting red on the toilet paper. I am apparently still in denial.
