Yay! First time mom here...

[chekhovgirl]

Just found out yesterday and it looks like I'm due mid-march :) I've been having cramping since the day before my period was due, but I've read that this i fairly common? So excited to be on this board after lurking around MDC for so long!

Congratulations and welcome! :balloons

I think cramping sensations are fairly normal at this point. Annoying and sometimes scary but normal. Glad to have you here!

I hadn't known it until now (how I had a not?? I've read half a dozen midwifery books and many dozen pregnancy books!), but yup, it's pretty darn common.

CONGRATS!!! :D And :w

Hello! very nice to meet you.

Welcome! 1st pregnancies are a lot of fun... all uncharted territory!

[chekhovgirl]

Nice to meet you all, too. Yeah, it's definitely new territory!

I'm hoping the cramping will be fine, but going to the doc just to see...

Welcome and congrats, chekhovgirl! I had lots of cramping with DS1 around this time, and everything was fine. It's always good to get checked out to put your mind at ease though! :thumb
