i had this! very normal, i’m almost 27 weeks and i still get what feels like period cramping. i was told it’s due to your uterus stretching to accommodate baby X
Hi Natalie! So scary isn’t it - I panic with every new twinge! I’ve had a fair bit of cramping though and my midwife said it was likely ligament changes and unless they last a while not to worry. I spent a very long day in a&e last week due to bleeding as well as cramping and it ended up being a hematoma which is fairly common and can cause a bit of cramping too - might be worth reading up on those. Also look up ‘lightening crotch’ a delightful term but basically just cramping/ pain but again, totally normal! If it doesn’t ease, definitely worth a call to your midwife to be on the safe side 💞
I’m having cramping now at 10 weeks but scan today showed everything was fine 🥰🥰
If it’s mild it should be nothing to worry about, I was the same few weeks ago and it comes and goes, it’s the stretching inside
I had this around 13 weeks, and also had some light bleeding had a scan done and all was fine, they said it could be from where by body thinks I'm still having a period and the cramping is pretty normal, ring your midwife they are so helpful especially if it's your first, everyone has been helpful xx
