Q: Cramps??
asked by: sftbllchika06 on December 29th, 2004

I am a first time mom and I am sorry if people are getting annoyed at my questions. I am 13 weeks pregnant and am getting like light cramps. They barely hurt but are really annoying. It hurts around my hips, sometimes in my back and also above my pubic bone. The pain lasts like 30 seconds to 1 minute. Does anyone have the same problem? They feel like the ones I had when I was about 6 weeks pregnant. Is it normal for them to come back? Thanks in advance to your replies.

Normal....
I had the same thing and it is your belly stretching!! If you think about it you have a person who is going to live there for a while so your tummy is just making room. As for the pain in hips, this is one of the many joy's of pregnancy and trust me the further you go the more uncomfortable you become. It's not un-barable but it get's "really" annoying. I wouldn't worry..A heating pad work's really good and oh for the hips if they continue to hurt I read in one of my book's that bengay help's. It's an idea.

Yeh it is very normal esp. When you are a 1st time mom... Try warm baths they do help. It is your uterus growing and the ligaments and stuff. Oh and we never get tired or annoyed of questions. So if you need any help hun just ask if we can help you or assist you we will
