how much pelvic cramping/discomfort is normal in early pregnancy? i'm only about a month along now, but i've had discomfort off and on for the past week (since right before my BFP). it's definitely no where near period cramping, but it's like pressure/discomfort/tightness. i know baby is getting all comfy in there and growing pretty quickly, so some cramping is normal, but this is my first time and i'm nervous!
-
I was crampy until 12 weeks +...I think it's normal if no bleeding or *pain*. But uncomfortable is definitely normal! Growing pains
but if worried it doesn't hurt to call the OB or nurses and ask.
-
yeah... it definitely doesn't hurt, and no bleeding. it's just weird feeling. i wanted to make sure i'm normal!
-
I had cramping til about week 7-8.
-
Very normal! I had period like cramping for the first 6-8 weeks. i kept expecting to see that my period had arrived, but it never came. I wouldn't worry about it
-
I completely agre with PP, I was crampy until about 8 weeks pregnant and still every once and while (I am 11 weeks). I would go to the bathroom and look for bleeding all the time because I was sure with all the cramping there would be some, but nope I was just paranoid:)
-
Very normal! I had a lot of cramping up until week 8/9. I still have random cramps in the second trimester, not nearly as bad as the first, but yep!
-
I had lots of cramping on and off during that time. I still have random cramping now, just like @mrsjyw. But we are having the exact same pregnancy so that doesn't surprise me
-
I am right there with you. About six weeks only myself and been feeling the same way! ; )
-
shew. so glad to know i'm normal.
-
@highwire: haha seriously!! i will laugh if we have the same gender in a few weeks!!
how r u feeling? don't u love this trimester?!
-
@mrsjyw: Yes! Feel like a regular human being again.
-
14 weeks and still getting some cramping/twinges every few days. Just making room for LO.
-
Totally fine. I ad period like cramps and general discomfort in the area until 8 weeks. Its just stretching out to make room for baby!
-
I was definitely crampy until 9 or 10 weeks. No worries, your uterus is just stretching to accommodate baby! I think I read somewhere that during the first couple of months your uterus actually doubles in size!
-
Bumping.
I'm 6+4, and I'm so, so sore. It feels like a ton of pressure around my pelvic bones, along with random cramping by my hip bones and ribs. Doesn't feel great, but only occasionally sharp. It has been like this for a while, but today is worse than the last few days.
I go in for my first appointment on Monday, but in the meantime: Normal??
-
Yay for this thread!!! @photojane: I just posted this question earlier in a different thread because it freaks me out! I'm only about 5 weeks I think and I've been crampy ever since my bfp. Good to know it's normal and I'm not alone in my worrying!
@mrsmenow: haha I am doing the same thing!! Every time I feel a cramp I have this fear I'm going to start bleeding so I go to the bathroom to check! Guess I'm just nutty! -
@LovelyPlum: I had cramping like right after my bfp and some like 2 weeks later and my hcg levels were still rising nicely. Not that that means anything. But I remember at the beginning of our due date thread a few of us were having cramping and experienced peeps were coming in and telling us how normal it is!
-
@LovelyPlum: Totally normal. I had tons of cramping up until week 10. It's just the ole ute growing.
-
Normal and I had it until maybe 8 weeks along? Light cramping, a feeling a real bloatedness/expanding.
-
Edited to erase my major stupidity
-
I had definite period cramping until about week 8 or 9. All turned out well !
-
@LovelyPlum: I'm there too! Last pregnancy I had really sharp shooting pains and was convinced it was ectopic but it wasn't. This time I'm having a lot of period like cramps and am convinced I am about to bleed at any time.
-
@ChattyCathy: @MrsKoala: @winniebee: @char54: thank you!! In my head, I figured so, but this jusy feels more uncomfortable than it did at first. I agree, I feel like I'm going to bleed at any time, and there is just a lot of pressure on my cervix. Laying down has helped, and since I'm supposed to be on pelvic rest anyways, I figured staying off of my feet is not a bad idea.
@CharityAnne: @T.H.O.U.: glad to know I'm not alone (though I'm sorry you have it too). It is scary!!
@TurtleDoves: lol, what did you say???
-
@LovelyPlum: I thought this thread was new and I thought the OP was pregnant again, so of course I'm all like, "yay congraaaaats"...like a dumbass.
-
@TurtleDoves: I thought the same thing!
-
Bumping this - I got my BFP two days ago and today just started getting very localized cramping/sharp pains. Not sever, but uncomfortable for sure. They only last for a few seconds and aren't regular. They seem to happen randomly or when I have to pee or move around a lot. I had a chemical two cycles ago, so I'm probably worrying more than normal.
but if worried it doesn't hurt to call the OB or nurses and ask.
