Cramping During Your First 6 Weeks??? Posted: 12-28-03 22:02pm
I am 6 weeks pregnant and I am
experiencing, almost like period cramps,
but not as severe. I have a history of
endometriosis and have had an ovary
removed with some "fixing up" of the other
ovary which still contains small folicle
cysts. I am very concerned with the
craming. But do not see my doctor for
another 2 weeks. Should I be pushing an
earlier appointment?? Help!!

First of all, ignore this fool that is
going around leaving nasty comments. I
only wish I had half the time he/she (or
probably in this case - it) does to do
such nonsense.
As far as your question, I think that, if
you are concerned with anything and
especially given your history, it would be
a good idea to at least call your dr
office, tell them what you told us, and
see what they think. If they request to
see you earlier, then do so. If they say
to wait it out until your appointment,
stick to that, unless something else would
happen that would cause you to be
concerned further.
Also, it may be a good idea to keep some
sort of a list or journal about these
things and how you feel/what you
experience each day so that you remember
all the details to tell the dr at your
appt.
God bless and good luck!

Thank you so much. You're right.
Ignore the idiots. I will be sure to
call the doctor tomorrow morning. And
the journal, great idea. Thanks again.

Is this your first pregnancy? I think
you should be concerned. Maybe the fool
who posted the one comment isn't
completely dumb. Could your cramps be
associated with gas or constipation?
Just giving you some other possibilities!
I'm in my sixth week also and I have
cramps that dont really hurt but they just
make me uncomfortable sometimes. Have
you been bleeding at all? I think you
should most definetely get in touch with
your doc asap! I'm praying for you!

Cramping can be caused from almost
anything, growing pains, sex, sleeping
wrong on your new belly and yes even
having to take a caca can hurt the
stomache. Most of the time my cramps are
from gas. But if the cramping is severe,
deffinetely go to the docs.

Thanks for all the advice. I called the
doctor today and they have moved my
appointment up a week to the 7th of
january. And said that if I experience
any spotting or blleeding to go to the
hospital right away. So far, no
bleeding. This is my first pregnancy.
I am experiencing massive nausia, but no
actual throwing up. Is this normal?
Also the cramping has eased.

Nausea Posted: 12-30-03 21:02pm
I think nausea, even on a massive level,
can be normal, and in fact most women, so
I have heard, don't actually throw up.
As long as you are able to get fluids down
(dehydration is a major problem) and
vitamins (prenatal, folic acid, etc.) I
think you'll be okay.
Definitely get to the hospital if you have
bleeding. I was about 8 weeks pregnant
and last night I was taken to the
hospital. I had a miscarriage because of
a hormonal imbalance.
i'm sure you will be great, however...
Good luck and god bless! i'm happy for you.

I am sooo sorry to hear of your loss.
Having a misscarriage is my worse
nightmare and I can't even imagine how you
are feeling. If you ever need someone to
talk to.... Anytime. Wishing you the
best.

Thanks! Posted: 12-31-03 10:50am
Thanks so much. I am doing really well
considering the situation. God has
really given me a peace, and I wouldn't be
able to get through this without him and
also without my wonderful, supportive
husband. I knew, no matter what, things
would happen according to god's will, and
that is what i've prayed daily.
I am looking forward to going to the
doctor to get this hormonal thing
straightened out and try again. I know I
am fertile and can get pregnant, it is
just a matter of carrying to term.
Again, I wish you much luck with your
baby! May 2004 be full of miracles for
you, in addition to your new little one.
