Q: 15th Week of Pregnancy And Cramping

Well, i'm kind of new at this so bear with me.

I am in my 15th week of pregnancy and since about week 6 or 7 I have been having these menstrual type cramps. I get them every day several times of day. I called my doctor and was told that it is completely normal, for my uterus is growing but I still cant help worrying. I haven't had any bleeding or anything. I had a miscarriage in february so I am constantly driving myself crazy with worry. We have seen the baby and heard the heart beat and everything already but I just cant help it. Has anyone out there experienced anything similar to this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, im 21 weeks pregnant and for that past maybe 10 weeks I get cramping and stuff to. My doctor said its completly normal. Ive had no complications and my baby is very healthy. I get rid of the pain by having warm bath or walking around.
I dunno if this helps you at all.

Don't worry - slight crampy feelings are usually quite normal. As your doc said, it's your uterus stretching to accomodate your growing baby. If the cramping gets worse though or you have any blood then def go to the hospital.

It's normal to worry! Wink
