I hear ya. I had some cramps a few weeks ago then they subsided and now the past two days have been feeling them again. (Oh and lots of round ligament pain in between the crampy times). Its hard not to worry, but I think its all normal. . .everything is growing and shifting. Today I wondered if I felt a BH type cramp for the first time.

Good idea. . .I try to drink enough, but I did notice yesterday that when I was feeling crampy my pee seemed darker/more concentrated than usual (sorry TMI). So perhaps I was just dehydrated.

The crampiness is my first sign that I'm not drinking enough. Add that to the growing that you mentioned and it makes for some uncomfy moments! |
Yes, I hate the crampy feelings, but I have been having them too. Hard to tell what is digestive, what is stretching and what is a contraction these days. I remember this being the easy part of pregnancy with my daughter. I guess 5 years makes you forget the yucky parts.

I'm the same with the water....before I sipped to help the nausea, now I forget.
Someone mentioned their pee being strong - same here...*sigh* you'd think I'd know better by now! LOL
As for the potassium - not a bad habit to get into because down the road those darn Charlie Horses start in the legs (at least for me they do) and the lack of water and lack of potassium make a BAD combo - but not too many - because bananas can cause you to have some problems with the OTHER plumbing system!

I'm definitily not drinking as much as I was earlier in the pregnancy, though earlier I was always thinking water sounded good, so it was easier to remember. |

I totally have that achy cervix feeling. Actually, I think I'm going to start a separate post to see if anyone else has it. Feeling a little worried
