I'm thinking maybe its more a stomach ache/gas/bloat/etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1349303 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:25:29 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1349303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@t.h.o.u.: i had cramps early in the first tri and then just started up suddenly again this past weekend (i'm 14 weeks) and are pretty strong, but i really think, from what i've read, that it's round ligament pain because it happens when i stand up after sitting or sit up after lying down or if i'm not hydrated enough. i wouldn't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1349025 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:42:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1349025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: OMG the cramps have hit me bad today at 9weeks! I am sitting at my desk at work but can barely focus. Is it normal for cramps to come on suddenly like this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1304015 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 00:11:25 +0000 HLK208 1304015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I'm 11 weeks on Monday and I've been cramping lately. Nothing too painful but definitely noticeable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1303590 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 17:10:24 +0000 Greentea 1303590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: aw don't worry! I had cramping my entire time! I also had bright red bleeding at 12 weeks. Healthy 6 month old sleeping on my lap :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1303247 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 14:42:28 +0000 mlm2934 1303247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: seriously thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302982 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 12:12:35 +0000 Vegmama 1302982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you've already had some reassurance, but I just went back through my 1st trimester blog posts, and my uterine cramping and soreness started around 8 weeks and lasted until week 14. The OB I was seeing told me it was RLP, but I never thought they would feel like they did (like you were describing). Just the uterus growing so rapidly!</p> <p>Also, how wonderful that you were able to hear the HB at 9.5 weeks. That's amazing!! Sounds like a healthy, strong baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302932 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:47:48 +0000 mlm2934 1302932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies, your reassurance helps! I'm an analyzer by nature so I think too much! Drive myself crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302583 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 08:34:15 +0000 JoJoGirl 1302583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had massive AF-like cramps the entire first tri, probably up until 14-15 weeks. So painful. Totally normal. Don't worry unless you start spotting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302542 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 07:10:47 +0000 MapleMoose 1302542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had cramps and back pain around that time too. Probably just things stretching out. Now I have a happy and healthy infant. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302540 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 07:00:19 +0000 Honeygold89 1302540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's probably just from your uterus stretching. I had cramps around weeks 10 and 12 but they turned out to be totally normal and everything was fine but if you really just need a piece of mind call you ob or visit the ER which I'm sure you don't need to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302531 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 06:40:47 +0000 MrsKoala 1302531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had cramping off and on throughout. I think it's just things stretching out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302423 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 00:49:35 +0000 wonderstruck 1302423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had cramping on and off throughout my entire pregnancy and was always told it was normal, try not to worry yourself over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302354 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 23:16:55 +0000 avivoca 1302354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had mild to moderate cramping as my uterus grew and stretched the ligaments. Try not to let it worry you (I know how hard it is!) as it is probably normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302285 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 22:34:14 +0000 MamaMagpie 1302285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I had mild/moderate cramping from the beginning up until about 15 weeks. Hang in there and try not to let the worry consume you -- distract yourself if you need to!<br /> Also, congratulations!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302264 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 22:26:44 +0000 Mae 1302264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was not super crampy over all, but I have had random bouts of crampyness everywhere from the start until now (21 weeks). My doc told me cramps that are mild to moderate are very normal in the 2nd tri as the uterus stretches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-normal-to-cramp-in-latter-first-trimester#post-1302259 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 22:24:53 +0000 mlm2934 1302259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow, and I've been having mild to little worse than mild cramps the past two days, sometimes with slight backache. I had a lot of cramping in early first tri, but wasn't sure if this is normal at this point? Def don't think it's round ligament as it's more in center of uterus. </p> <p>Also I had a fibroid so don't know if that could be cause?</p> <p>I'm really letting it stress me our bc my OB appt was cancelled today so I won't see her until 12 weeks. We saw healthy HB at 9.5 weeks but I just can't stop worrying :/</p> <p>Sorry sort of rambling! </p>
