It was so uncomfortable. I was told to lay down on my side and drink water and rest for a bit. He said only to worry if they got worse, had bleeding, and/or didn't stop after awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-20-weeks#post-214621 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 11:39:04 +0000 chopsuey 214621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had cramping a few days ago. The tightening sounds like BH.. Cramping possibly your uterus growing?<br /> Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-20-weeks#post-214560 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 10:11:00 +0000 MamaMoose 214560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 20 weeks today and I've got the exact same thing going on on my left side at this very moment. I definitely think its just round ligament pain. I find it more annoying than concerning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-20-weeks#post-214556 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 10:02:46 +0000 Tidybee 214556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had this and just chalked it up to round ligament pain. I think the baby starts to really grow now, so it made sense to me that my uterus was growing too. But that's all in my non-medical opinion. After a day or 2 it went away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-20-weeks#post-214550 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 09:53:13 +0000 loveisstrange 214550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be round ligament pain. I had bad cramping, tightening pain on my left side through the second half of my pregnancy and my doctor said that's what it was. It was the bottom/side of my belly right at my hip bone.</p> <p>Believe me, contractions are much, much different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-20-weeks#post-214538 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 09:29:54 +0000 mrsjyw 214538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just at the 21 week mark and I woke up at the butt crack of dawn to mild cramping pains that started late last night. It was on the left side and didn't feel like Braxton Hicks (not that I've felt those yet). </p> <p>I also had a random morning this last week where I had a good half hour of tightening pain on my left side.</p> <p>Anyone experience cramping during this part of your preg? </p>
