Tummy And Back Cramps

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and especially at
night have tummy and back cramps. Is
this normal? Do others also feel quite
a lot of cramping in the beginning of
their pregnancies?

I used to get minor cramping almost every
other day. I'm ten weeks 5 days along
now and just like once a week I will have
incredibly bad cramping.....Hopefully it's
nothing to worry about because there is no
bleeding. I know that cramping is
normal because your uterus is trying to
grow!

Hey gang! Just wanted to add my comments
regarding back pain and cramping. I had
that same thing happen to me, and i'm
actually still experiencing it, but I was
told by my doctor that it is due to a uti.
So, that may be something you want to
look into. I'm 6 weeks along and this
entire time I just assumed it was my
uterus stretching. I'm sure some of it
is, but it wouldn't hurt to test that as
well.

Hi ladies
after extreme cramping at work and at the
end bleeding, last night my hubby and I
went to the emergency room. Luckily so
far my little bean still has a strong
heartbeat but the second little one was
lost. I've now been booked off and i'm
on medication to stop the cramping and
keep my uterus closed. In my case it's
still very early days for my pregnancy and
i'm sure that a certain amount of cramping
is normal. Best of luck to you all

Hi, i'm 5 weeks and also have some
cramping occasionally, mostly at night.
It feels just like the cramps before my
period starts, I keep half expecting to
get my period! My doctor said it was
normal as long as I didnt bleed heavily.
I also noticed they get worse when I have
to go to the bathroom and go away after I
do. So you're not alone!
Another question for everyone- has anyone
else noticed that they have increased
sensitivity to smell? My boyfriend has
made fun of me but I swear certain things
smell so much stronger to me now. I
actually noticed it before I knew I was
pregnant. Someone back me up here so I
can show him i'm not nuts! Thanks !!

Sorry I keep beating the uti horse, but
angel if you're also feeling pain when you
use the bathroom, you seriously might want
to find out if you have an infection. It
is very common very pregnant women to get
utis. I guess i'm just trying to spread
the word because I went through three
weeks of pain when I probably didn't have
to had I gotten myself checked for it
earler. Good luck everyone!

Thanks for your concern, I did get all the
tests done and everything was fine. It
doesnt actually hurt when I go, just when
my bladder gets full in the middle of the
night I think it makes the cramping worse.
Thanks for the advice though.... Much
appreciated. Its awesome that I can ask
you guys stuff b/c this is my first time
and I have no idea what i'm doin !

Hi jlee
i was implanted with two fertilized eggs
already on 8 stage division. All was
okay with bloodtests and up to 7 weeks but
my doctor thinks that the bleeding was
because the one embryo was ejected. Only
one heartbeat could be found. It was
only my first echo so maybe the one never
worked but then I should have ejected it 3
weeks ago. (on top of that I have an
ovarian cyste...My specialist will decide
on tuesday what needs to be done)
it's not so bad because so far i'm still
pregnant .... And having to spend a lot
of time laying down. Actually i'm taking
spasfon now (doctors prescription) and i'm
back on utrogestan to strenghten the
umbiblical cord's connection.
It's now been 3 days of spasfon and the
cramping has slowed down to a supportable
level every now and then, not all the
time.
I feel so stupid to call my doctor a lot
but rather safe than sorry...

Im 13 weeks and every now and then I get a
cramp here and there in my lower back and
sometimes my stomache.. Its just the baby
getting comfortable in the uterus, thats
what my mom says.... The uterus is
stretching to make room for the little
bundle of joy..

Hi jlee
wow!! 23 weeks is already over half
way!!! Boy or a girl???And have you found
a name yet??
I'm 31, hubby 32 and been ttc for 4 years
and in vitro first time...Pregnant!!!
Nothing is normal with in vitro because
every body says miscarriages are high in
the first trimester and so nobody is
specifically very enthusiastic or wanna
chat at work or my family or my
family-in-law. So I chat to you ;-)
my fertility specialist is seeing me
nearly every week but although i'm now 8
weeks he still doesn't want to declare my
pregnancy or even start the typical
process of sonogram, bloodtests for
toxoplasmose, ect. Moreover, he spends
only about 10 minutes with me which
includes his hello and goodbye!!!
I've decided to go back to my gynecologist
so I got an appointment in february and
hopefully she'll be more positive and
supportive otherwise i'll have to
emigrate somewhere where doctors know
about smiling and chatting to
patients!!!
Anyway, alls fine, cramping has slowed
down and nausea has kicked in. Ah, the
pleasures of being pregnant;-)

Speaking of cats theres more to it then
not changing the litter, don't let the cat
go outside and don't let your cat it raw
meat. Both of these things can hurt you.

Cramping

:x
well I just found out I was pregnant
monday. I am 4 weeks pregnant and what
brought me to the Dr. Wasn't my lack of
periods (im polycystic and miss them a
lot) it was my severe cramping like I was
gonna get my period. I have had
cramping like this for 3 weeks, so
apparently starting week one with
cramping. My Dr. Said that girls
that get extreme cramping with their
periods sometimes will have cramping up
til week 12.
The other thing that is driving me crazy
is I seem insomniac lately and keep
getting hot and cold chills.
I'm just happy to be pregnant though.
We were not supposed to be able to get
pregnant without fertility medicines and
suddenly we are pregnant without.
