@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!
Also, congratulations!!!

I had cramping on and off throughout my entire pregnancy and was always told it was normal, try not to worry yourself over it.

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.

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!

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!

Also, how wonderful that you were able to hear the HB at 9.5 weeks. That's amazing!! Sounds like a healthy, strong baby.

@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

@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?

@littleredhairedgrl: Yea this isn't RLP that I am having, these are full on cramps. I'm thinking maybe its more a stomach ache/gas/bloat/etc.

@littleredhairedgrl: Yea I remember the RLP from my first and this is way too high and way too constant (even when sitting).
