I am about 20 weeks along is it normal to cramp like if I am stretching or something. Is it okay to cramp some? Does anyone else experience this?

Re: Cramping

Trust me it is completly normal, what it is.... The baby is growing faster then your stomach can. I had the same problem with my first child that was born. Thats what my doctor told me because I thought something was wrong. He gave me some medicine to help keep me comfortable. Don't worry it's normal.
