Cramp
Posted: 02-18-05 21:47pm

I am about 20 weeks along is it normal to cramp like if I am stretching or something. Is it okay to cramp some? Does anyone else experience this?

More than likely you are experiencing ligament stretching...Very common....

My dr told me that he had people come rushing into the er thinking they were having pre-term labor and it actually turned out to be their ligaments stretching.

Try not to worry too much but you could always call you Dr. Just to be sure

Very normal. It could be a few things. I'm going to copy and paste this funny post for you. Similar situation about cramps you get when you move. Lol!!

okay last night while I was at an evening class I got up to go to the bathroom......I refuse to sit on toilets that aren't my own so I usually pop a squat (lol).....Well when I was all down tinkling I tryed to stand up straight, but my stomache was all tight and cramped up and I had to go back down in that position!!! Every time I tryed to stand up straight, I could feel like my stomache muscles or something being all tight and not letting go.....So I was standing there for like a minute or two, stuck like that!!!! Finally it let up.......Has that ever happened to anyone else before?? Hahah :)

yeah, that happened to me a lot. Getting stuck in positions. That's prob going to happen more and more as you get further along. It's funniest during sex. Put everything on pause while you try to get your big butt into a diff position. Lol!!!!!!!!!

yeah, it's your uterus contracting. And it will get worse. I mean like, happen more often. It will prob hurt once you get later into the third tri.

that happens to me all the time now. Like when I try to get up out of the bed or if im sitting in a chair and try to get up. I hate it .. It hurts so bad sometimes as if someone is taking a knife and holding it right there.

our bed is next to a wall, and I sleep by the wall cause... Well no reason, thats just my side, at the end of the bed on my side, theres a big dresser always in my way, and when I get up at night to pee, I cant sit up. Ill try a few times, but just rock back down. So luis will have to push me over him. Its soooo hard cause he crowds me really bad.
