Hi,
i hate to say this, but just because you had a healthy pregnancy the first time does not drastically decrease your risk of miscarriage this time around. But without having any spotting (good sign!) I would try not to worry - easier said than done, I know! I am currently 22w2d and I have been having menstrual like backpain too, but I guess it is much more likely seeing as I am getting significantly rounder! I would suggest that if it is still happening in the next couple days that you call your doctor and ask if you should come get checked out or what you can do.
All the best.... :d

Hey hun.. R the cramps very persistent and very sharp??? If they feel just like menstrual cramps I wouldnt worry.. Ive gotten those alot too. .Mostly in the first 2 months of pregnancy. I am 3 months (my 1st one) and havent miscarried yet. . I told my doctor and he said not to worry, that it was normal. So unless they are very painful and serious I wouldnt worry.. And if they do become that then see a doc asap*

Hi how far along are you?

I too have been trying over 2 years and am 4 to 6wks along
i too have been having cramps exactly as you describe iam in my late 30's and it also has me concered so I called my doc cause it felt as if I should be getting my period with how the cramps were
he said I should be okay as long as I am not spotting
i should of gotten it on the 3rd and didn't. He said it is normal for
some to get cramps and the tightning feeling cause my body
is changing.

So I hope you are okay too!!! Good luck!!!!

I thought I should update~~i have miscarried.

I am exactly 5 weeks along due saeptember 16th and yes my doctor said the same to me that as long as there was no spotting I should be okay, I am just so nervouse after it taking so long to get pregnant I don't wnt anything to happen

Ooh man do I understand!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you have a good day and your cramping gets better.
Ooh also mine are worse at night my doc asumes's it's just
becuse I slow down and notice them more!!

Hi, i'm also very glad to have joined this web-site. I just figured out today how to reply back to someone that has given you advice. I didn't think anyone was going to reply. I still have so many other questions but I hope to get more responses to my current problem. So now i'm looking forward to this.... It's nice to be able to ask everyone serious and sometimes small or silly questions.
Anyway,take care and if you want to write my name is kelly(kellyjt)
