Q: Possibly My Uterus Stretching??

Ok, as some of you know, I have been having this cramping feeling. Well I just came up with a better way to discribe it. It feels kind of like burning. Now still this could be an infection I asume, but could it be my uterus stretching some? I am almost 15 weeks, and I am noticeing my lower abdomen getting bigger. Did anyone else have this burning feeling early on?? I will see a doc asap, but that won't be possible till after june 1st.

How long does it last? I have that burning feeling almost everyday and im sure its my uterus streching. It doesent really matter that your only 15 weeks cause your still growing. Although it hurts really bad I find getting up and trying to move around makes it feel better and go away faster.

Streaching...
It only last a couple seconds off and on. Almost comes and goes in a throbbing type manner, but doesn't really hurt, but some times it can be pretty uncomfurtable. The weird thing is it seems to mostly be on my left side. From the time I became pregnant I have been getting most of my cramps on just the left side. Its weird. And that is the side that looks bigger. It rises higher then my right side.

I have a friend who is a medical student, and he has helped me out a lot when I have questions. When I told him about it he asked me if I was drinking lots of water, and I told him no, I was maybe getting 8 oz at the most a day, and he said that could cause cramping and to start drinking more water, which I plan to. So it could be that too. Uhgg, I just need to talk to my doc about it, and its frustrating me that I can't get to my doc till after june 1st!! Thanks for the reply though.

Stacie call your nurse and tell her what you are feeling! When I was sick, I called my doc and was going on and on to the receptionist and she was like "let me get your nurse lol" and then I was like ok, so my nurse clara came on and I told her the whole story and she was like, ok it doesnt sound like morning sickness if its hurting like that, so she told me to go in and see the doc. Just call its better safe than sorry!
