It's normal but obviously scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1616445 Tue, 06 May 2014 13:11:29 +0000 snowjewelz 1616445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had cramps between like 4-5 weeks, pretty bad ones too. I was def horrified but HB, internet and my OB said cramping is very normal... Just think about how many things are going on in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1616431 Tue, 06 May 2014 13:08:35 +0000 Littlebit 1616431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them until about 9 weeks. Weren't painful, just felt like stretching kind of? I actually liked them and thought of it as the baby burrowing in. It was reassuring to know that things were happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1616429 Tue, 06 May 2014 13:07:56 +0000 septca 1616429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them the WHOLE TIME - but it was esp bad during first tri. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1616422 Tue, 06 May 2014 13:06:33 +0000 Cole 1616422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 17 weeks and still getting them off and on. DTD definitely caused some in the early days which was nerve wracking but everything was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1616405 Tue, 06 May 2014 13:03:00 +0000 mfa_lady 1616405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: This is what my husband says to me. I'm all like "at 5 weeks? Nothing can be happening yet at 5 weeks!" and then I remember how crazy awesome it is to grow a baby and reassure myself that TONS of things are happening at 5 weeks. Thanks for popping in! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1616392 Tue, 06 May 2014 13:00:01 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1616392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 22w and still get cramps. They're normal. Your body is growing and stretching! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1616386 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:59:15 +0000 mfa_lady 1616386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm freaking out about this, too. Sometimes I'm not even sure if I should call what's happening "cramps"--sometimes it is, but sometimes it's just discomfort/feels like gas. Thanks for posting--good to know I'm not the only one! (I'm 5w1d.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1614983 Mon, 05 May 2014 23:37:06 +0000 Purpledaisy 1614983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The whole first trimester and then they came back for the third trimester. I worried a lot about them in the beginning but my ob assured me that they're normal and unless you also have bleeding that there's nothing to worry about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1614973 Mon, 05 May 2014 23:12:06 +0000 HLK208 1614973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until about 10 weeks then they went away until later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1614972 Mon, 05 May 2014 23:09:47 +0000 hellocupcake 1614972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 17 weeks and still cramp. The doctor has assured me not to worry unless I double over in pain or I start bleeding. This did NOT happen with LO1 so it's so new to me and I hate feeling worried about every little cramp. Hang in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-cramps#post-1614970 Mon, 05 May 2014 23:06:00 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1614970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 3 weeks along, but I'm having cramps and wondering how long this lasts for most women. I know it's normal, but it's still worrisome. </p>
