New to the Club - anyone else crampy?

[sylvi76]

Hi all. Haven't been in the due date clubs for a few years! Have a dd who is 2, thats when I found MDC, it has proved invaluable, and so here I am again. I think my due date according to LMP is june 4. Not sure if that means I am six or seven weeks. Is anyone else feeling crampy? I have light twinges now and again. Not painful exactly, but not totally comfortable either. Like I feel like massaging my lower belly. Don't remember this at all the first time around.

I'm definately feeling my ligaments and tendons change in the lower abs/pubic area. I can really feel it when I cough or twist and exert.

I just got a BFP this AM! Due June 19 I think. But I'm having lots of crampy/weird feelings- though I took clomid, so I'm wondering if that is the issue for me. Its not like period cramps, its like I did 1,000 sit ups or something and I feel sore.

I was having cramping on and off last week but haven't had anything recently. I don't remember the crampy feeling the first time around either.

Yeah, I'm having what feels almost like a fluttery baby feeling, although of course it's way too early for that. Not painful but sort of uncomfortable. I guess sorta like gas. It comes and goes. Not sure if it's cramps or some side effect of m/s. I don't really remember this from last time either.

Welcome back!

mamas, remember that you feel more with each pregnancy- more crampiness, more pelvic pain, kicking earlier, etc...your body is just more sensitive. i feel a lot of "sensation" in my uterine area, but i'm just trying to take it as a sign of reassurance that my uterus is growing, my ligaments stretching, and that there is a lot of activity where there should be!

Yes, still crampy! Definitely more so than with DD, but as a PP mentioned, these things do get stronger with each pregnancy. We did a lot of hiking this weekend, and I'm not in the best shape, so I suspect that made it worse, too. I think it's all okay, though. Emotionally, I don't sense anything wrong with this pregnancy, so I'm just assuming all is well.

Makes perfect sense...just didn't think of it that way!!

I've had lots of crampiness too but it seems to have lessened in the past week or so. The cramping is different than AF cramps so it doesn't bother me too much. I try to take it as a sign that my little one is growing.

I also had a lot of crampiness for the first couple of weeks--everything from period-like cramps to scary twinges on the right side. I still feel crampy now and then, mostly after I get up from lying down for a while. Today, I am feeling achy in my lower-back. As long as I am not spotting or feeling any real pain, I take these cramps to be a good sign.

So happy to be reporting cramps to this club today!

Hi everyone!--

I'm very excited to be posting here.

I just POAS an hour ago (15 dpo) and got my BFP! Haven't even told my husband yet as he'd already left for work. (I was trying to wait longer to test as I didn't get a BFP for my DS until I was 8 days late--22 dpo!-- but I figured if the symptoms were stronger, maybe I had more hgc this time.)

But I was pretty sure due to sore bbs (less than I remember with DS in 2003) and these mild cramps (more than I remember with DS in 2003) that I've had the past couple of days. I remember having some with my son, and, like these, they felt like menstrual cramps, but I think not quite so many.

I am also more noticeably nauseated this time.

Yup!!

I've been sitting here wondering if I should worry... I just can feel things so much more intensely this time.... both in my lower back and in my belly. Doesn't seem to be ligament type sensations, but I cling to it as a sign that something is happening!!

This is my 6th pregnancy, so it would make sense that things happen more quicky with subsequent PGs.... I know my clothes already don't fit, I'm sure I"ll be in maternity clothes or at least pants.... within a few weeks.

This morning I had some uncomfortable sensations - not really crampy feeling stuff, but just feelings that make me feel like I should kick back and relax. I also get feelings like baby flutterings, but I know it's too too early to feel baby yet. I'm guessing that should happen around Christmas time.
