Cramping

I’m terrified right now. I’m having cramping that start last night and had been coming and going since. It’s like period cramps, but also felt in my glutes. It’s also on the side where the baby is implanted (switches sides) and my lower back. I’m not sure if it’s normal. I’m 6weeks 6days. Wondering if I should go to the hospital if it continues.

Are you bleeding? I have cramps almost every day.

You can always call the emergency department at the hospital and ask to speak to a nurse and see what they say.

I’m 6 wks and am experiencing that too. I was told it’s normal unless it’s really intense or accompanied by bleeding

Very normal. I’m 6 weeks and having cramping just like yours. I was nervous too but what my nurse told me is as long as there’s no heavy bleeding. Your uterus is just expanding making room for the baby ! Totally normal 💕💕💕

I’m 6 weeks pregnant and I’ve been having really bad pain in my stomach it comes and goes too I think it’s just the uterus stretching for the baby

I'm 8w2d and I experienced some light cramping. More like light pain. Let your OBGYN know. If you have light bleeding that would be an issue. Good luck mama!

no bleeding! And I still feel my normal symptoms. Just cramps are painful.

Thank you mamas. This app makes it easier than googling.

I’m 6 weeks and have on and off bad cramps all day. I had an ultrasound this morning and everything looked normal so I think you should be ok! But you know your body best!

I’ll do this
Thank you

I went to the emergency room a couple days ago and they told me it was just a cyst that was from the baby that will go away on its own

Avatar

I googled it cause mine got worse too and it said it might be Braxton Hicks

Avatar

I experience that at 4-6 weeks I’m currently 7. My doc told me it’s normal, unless it’s painful so bad ur hunching over and you’re bleeding

Avatar

Just adding on to the other’s confirmation that it is normal. I had my ultrasound today and my nurse shared that cramping that feels like period cramps is totally normal and to only be concerned if they keep getting worse and worse pain wise.

Thank you everyone for the confirmation

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
