I have had them for 2 days on and off now. They're very very very low, imagine as low as possible. They haven't been too bad or constant until today. I went into the store and could hardly walk, last night and this morning that area where the cramps are was very hard. I'm so glad my appt is on Thursday.
-
I had some menstrual-like ones, doc said it was the uterus stretching most likely. If they're excruciating, I would definitely check with your doctor!
-
I had menstrual type cramps all through my first trimester, they really freaked me out!
If they are extreme though, I'd definitely talk to your doc.
-
Yep. I had all sorts of weird pulling and pressure in the third trimester. At one point I thought I had a bladder infection, but the doctor just said your uterus is growing and has to contract to grow, so that's likely what it was!
-
I had some really bad lower abdominal and lower back cramping. REAALLY bad. turns out, I was really constipated. TMI, sorry. lol.
-
I'm sure it's normal, they've gone mostly away now.
-
My doctor's rule on cramping was to call if you had bleeding as well, or if the cramps were worse than what I fell when I have my period. So if they are more severe than your usual cramps I would call your doc to be safe.

@MamaMoose: Since I have an appointment on Thursday I'm going to bring it up, but there is no bleeding.
I've had a m/c and this cramping was similar to what I experienced in the beginning but nowhere near as bad as that.
-
I had dull period-like cramps early on. With my m/c I had sharp, excruciating cramps, but no bleeding.
-
Yep. I had some that were so bad that I sent myself to the emergency room, fearing the worst.
I soon learned that cramps were a very regular part of pregnancy for me. I always had them. -
Yep, dull period like cramps off and on.
-
I had them on and off for the first few weeks. There were a handful of times when they were so bad (like, around 5 weeks) that I woke up fully expecting my period and for it to be all over. Very scary, but I never had any spotting or anything and they eventually stopped completely.
@MamaMoose: My midwife said the same thing-- cramping was fine, spotting was fine, but really really bad cramps or heavy bleeding, or cramping and bleeding today, call or go in.
-
Yes, I had dull cramps and also twinges (round ligament pains). I'd worry about them but the OB said to just lie down and relax if you can when they come.
-
I had mild cramps before my BFP which is why I tested in the first place ... I ended up m/c in the 6th week, and had mild cramps up until that point (they became more like bad af cramps after I started bto m/c). I was told by our midwife though that the cramps were not a sign of the m/c ... the two were not related (ie. next pregnancy, I shouldn't freak out if I start cramping). Wishing you the best of luck at your appt!!
