Alright Who Else Is Cramping Is This Normal
Posted: 06-26-06 04:05am

Im 19 weeks...Been having mild period -like cramping..(no bleeding).Already been to the hospital they did an ultrasound and checked the heartbeat and everything is fine...Still think its weird...

Are these growing pains?? Im confused the only answer I got from the doctor was to drink a gallon of water a day...Lord! Like im not peeing enough already!

I think they thought I was feeling ligament pains...I have those occasionally too when I cough or sneese or laugh or reach too far...But the cramping is a different feeling...

What do you all think??? Is anyone else feeling this way????? I am freaking out!!!

Nothing to Worry About
Posted: 06-26-06 12:44pm

Hey lilly its nothing thing to worry about that is just round ligament pain it will go away when its ready as long as you had a ultrasound and everything is okay then dont worry about it and besides after you hit 13 weeks you hit the spot for miscarraige. So dont worry so much oh yea the likely hood of a miscarraige drops from 5% to 2% after you hear the babys heart beat.

I wouldn't worry too much.

I am 22 weeks, and I get those mild cramps too (that don't last too long). Every where I read and ask people about, it is just growning pains.

I read some place that if the pain lasts long then 4 hours, then get checked out.

I think as long as you are not bleeding , and the pain is bareable and doesn't last too long, you should be okay.

Well I guess I am more nervous because I was pregnant last year around this time and I lost my baby at like 19 weeks and 5 days...So right now I am 19 weeks and 5 days exactly and so I am scared...

I feel better hearing everyones replies...Thank you

i guess I sort of know alot of this is in my head, b/c of what happened last time but at the same time I dont want to get too confident...

I still dont feel the baby move everyday...In fact I didnt notice anything today...But I was told not to worry b/c its still fairly eary for movement and I am overweight so sometimes that makes it harder to feel movement from what I have read...

Thanks for all your replies everyone!!

Well don't worry I am get period like pains all the time.
I think mine is due to constipation.
Try not to worry I had a stillbirth and scared myself because I lost the baby when I was 8mths.
Just remember is you get heavy bleeding then go hospital or ring doctor.

I am right at 18 weeks along and I have had some of the same cramping that you have. My doctor told me it was just the baby growing and your body expanding and changing to make room. When I first started having them it scared me b/c I thought something was wrong but as long as there is no bleeding then your fine. Congrats on the baby as well!!! This is my first baby so I am excited.
