Cramping....normal?

MissyAnne · #1 (**permalink**) 06-07-2007, 04:04 AM

I've been noticing that I've been cramping since around implantation and I'm not sure if this is something that I should be concerned about.

Most of the time it's a dull achey almost feeling or an almost O-like pain from the ovaries area but this morning I got what I thought was going to be a serious AF cramp and it made me start worrying and researching.

Of course the first flag everything throws up is miscarriage but I'm trying to stay positive. The other one is just harmless uterus stretching.

Any of you have continued 'cramping' after you know you're pregnant?

Thanks girls!

Yes!! It was so bad that I ran to my OB crying sure that I was having a m/c. Actually it was so bad I thought it was going to be a tubal. She did an U/S and it was fine! My OB said that she gets the same thing. Tthe cyst on your overy that feeds the pregnancy until the placenta takes over gets really uncomfortable sometimes

That was a long way of telling you that I had such bad cramping with DS.

Completely normal. Its your body adjusting to pgncy around the time of AF would be going on. As long as you are not bleeding/spotting along with the cramping, you are fine. Remember brown=good, Red=Bad, and Pink=questionable.
Also some people get more implantation spotting around 5/6 weeks and even up to 8 weeks, but its just the baby burrowing in more.

I had it for probably about a week I found out I was pregnant with all 3 of mine. It felt like af would show at any moment. Then after about a week it went away.

Never had any experience with this since I've never been pg, but I wanted to let you know I'm sending tons of prayers your way that this is just a pregnancy symptom!!

Let us know how you're doing!!

I had loads of cramping with Isabel. I think I had it up until the 2nd trimester. Like everyone else said, cramping okay, a little bleeding okay, cramping and bleeding not okay. Don't worry too much, your bean is fine!!!! Good luck at the docs though!

I too had it so bad my doctor thought my daughter was tubal. A quick ultrasound later showed one honker of a cyst and a beautiful, sticky bean. Everything will be okay.

Like everyone has said - totally normal. Hope you're able to relax and enjoy the pregnancy.
