2nd Pregnancy - More Cramping?

[rabrog]

Is more cramping to be expected with a second pregnancy? I've had quite a bit more (well, relatively speaking - I had none with DD) cramping so far.

count me in there too. I'm having random cramps and (based on the other March posts) bloating. I was nervous about having to go into maternity pants because I was already feeling a little tight at the waistline but it's sort of backing off now.

Me too!! This is my second and I've been feeling subtle cramps here and there and I'm super bloated! I feel like I'm already showing but I know it's just the bloat! What helps with bloating?

This is my 4th and I've noticed a little more cramping then before. I don't have much now, it's really starting to taper off. Also, I've had terrible bloating! I think that is staring to go away too now though! I want to show though, I love that feeling!

This is my second and I am also cramping! I don't remember getting cramps with my first at all. Mine feel exactly like Braxton Hicks contractions (that slightly painful, pulling feeling).

Count me in too. I've been feeling them pretty consistently for the past week. Guess our bodies are just stepping it up since they know what to do this time?
