i have a cramping feeling in my lower belly almost on my blater, and a tenderness that won't go away! is that ok? am i and the baby ok? i'm 18 weeks, and everytime i go to the doc they say i don'y have any infections but they give me low dose pain meds to help with the pain. are you sure that there is nothing wrong with me? or is this another drawback to pregnancy? cause the docs keep giving me funny looks when i tell them about the troubles i have been having. are we ( me and the baby) going to be all right? is it something i should worry about? please help me!

I had this same problem and everything turned out to be fine.
Try not to worry.

If you aren't satisfied with what the doctor is telling you, try getting a second opinion.

funny things that happen. . .

I get that crampy feeling when the baby wedges herself into certain spots. That might be what's happening to you. I found out that sometimes when I get paind in my lower right or left abdomen and I rub or prod the place, the baby will move and the pain will stop. You also may have pulled a ligament in your hip, which can happen easily now that everything is looser. I hope things get better for you.
