Marci,

unless there is bleeding, there is no reason to think you are misscarrying. Cramps are completely normal, your uterus is expanding to make room for your bubby, so you are going to experience cramping. I had a miscarriage in may of this year, but I am 4 and a half months pregnant now and everything is going fine. I truly can understand the worry you are going through. My hubby and I worried about every little pain and cramp with this pregnancy, because we feared the same thing might happen again. Hang in there, i'm sure everything will be just fine. It will obviously be much easier once you are past the first trimester, as that will bring you into the low risk category for miscarriage, but until then it is going to be absoulutely essential for you and bubby, that you stay nice and relaxed, and stress free until your 3 month mark has passed. Every woman is different and some women don't experience pregnancy symptoms until 4 months, so don't worry too much if your breasts are not sore anymore and the nausea has disappeared, as those symptoms could possibly re appear at any given time.

Take care,

suzy

Hello marci,

i miscarried last year in may and I had the same systoms as you do now... It felt like I was going to have my period the pregancy systoms stoped and I had cramps and the poops.. Then a few days later I lost the baby.. But it can also be as suzy said and you belly is just trying to get big..
Hope everything is ok and keep us informed.. Try not to get to stressed I know it is hard to do but try..

Thankyou so much vanessa, hubby and I went for my 2nd doctors visit yesterday and the doc said everything is going wonderfully. We got to hear bubby's heart beat to, oh wow we were so happy to hear that little pounding heart. It was great going to see our doctor, she is really wonderful, and she put our minds at ease with all the usual parental worries and concerns. I've been feeling really good, no more morning sickness, yay. Although the good old frequent peeing is still rampant. Thankyou again.

Suzy

So far so good..No bleeding. The cramps have subsided today. Last night I had back cramps? It's just very scary but i'm doing much better today. I'm going to try to be much more positive :d . The good news is I have a healthy 16 month old daughter. I'm very excited about this pregnancy because they will be 2 yrs. Apart. I'm 30 and I don't want to wait too much longer. I also talked to my friend who had 2 miscarriages and she said there are things dr's can do if you're at risk. One is they can give you a supposiotry with progesterone in it. Sometimes that's why women miscarry if their level is low. At least i'm learning something.

I truly appreciate you sharing with me. I hope I can continue to share good news :d!
Thanks girls!
