Cramps in Pregnancy

I hadn't had a baby in six years and couldn't remember a gosh darn thing. I read 4 books plus I used the internet endlessly.

So first sign was I tooted non stop. It was embarrassing! lol
Then the cramps started. I sat on pins and needles! I'd had a miscarriage the month before this pregnancy. It measured at 4 weeks when I was 6 weeks so I consider it a chemical pregnancy. But this one also had cramps. The blood was absent though with the miscarriage it was indeed not. But every time me and hubby had sex I did bleed.

But I cramped in both pregnancies. But it was true. There was no blood. No spotting nothing. I was told though that even if I did it was no big deal because it is very common to bleed during pregnancy. I was told even a decent flow you had a 50/50 shot.

So yes cramps are very normal. Try not to worry. I know that is futile but I'll say it anyways.

I've had cramping with all 3 of my pregnancies, and delivered 2 healthy large babies and am now almost 5 months pregnant with my 3rd. It's totally normal as long as it's not severe or with bleeding. My cramps would come and go also, and they were worse when I had to pee. Congrats on your pregnancy!

If the cramps are coming and going for a month with no bleeding AND you're still pregnant then I probably wouldn't worry (I know, yeah right!). Definitely bring it up with your doctor though.

Yes, cramping can be normal. I had it early on in my current pregnancy (now 23wks). I was terrified I was losing this baby since I'd had 2 miscarraiges prior to this one and they both started with cramping. However, with those I started bleeding soon after. And I don't remember having cramps with my 3yr old DS. Like Lesley S said, if they've been off & on for a month and no bleeding, you're probably ok. Check with your doctor just to see if they can make sure all is still well in there - maybe they can do an ultrasound (I don't know how far along you are). Good luck and congrats!

I can't say for sure, and only a dr. can really confirm...But my first pregnancy was horrible. I had these God awful cramps that lasted for the first 2.5mths then was fine until about 6 months when they returned with vengeance....I swore I was going to start my period and/or miscarry...

With that said, outside of actually having to go on bed rest for the last 3 months of that pregnancy, everything turned out perfect. I have a healthy 2.5 yr old little boy. So it can be normal! Just make sure you let your OB know, and be careful and just follow your intuition. I was dxd with an irritable uterus, which may have been why I was cramping so early...

Congratulations and good luck with this pregnancy...
