Period Like Cramps & Im Pregnant ... ?
Posted: 10-11-06 22:17pm

Today I experienced some cramps that felt like the ones I get before my period... But I am almost 22 weeks pregnant. Does anyone have any explanation for this? Im going to call my doc tomorrow and see if she has any advice but it's really bugging me! Thanks , greeneyes

Your uterus is stretching. Call your doctor if it will put your mind at ease.

Yup it's your uterus stretching and the muscles moving in practice for this baby.

Call your doctor anyways.

My contractions, in the beginning, felt like period cramps.

I would'nt advise you to "just let it go". I was *super* paranoid during my pregnancy. And everything was fine, as i'm sure you're fine. But you can never be too careful when you're pregnant. You're not making decisions that will affect *only* you. You have the well being of your baba in your decisions!!

I had the same thing when I was about 24 weeks or so. I mentioned it at my one appt. And they sent me to triage just to be sure but it was nothing. Just the uterus practicing, like the other girls said. I worried about every little thing when .I was pregnant though so .I understand how scary it is.
