Yeah I have them all the time too. They
do feel like period cramps but not that
bad. I guess you should worry if they are
really painful that you cannot move or do
anything and of course if you are bleeding
thats the most important. Just earlier
this week on monday and tuesday I had a
really bad backache. That at points I
couldnt even be standing cause it hurted
my mom said it was probably a bad sign but
I just went to sleep and the next day it
wasnt that bad and now im better. Then I
went online looking for stuff of that and
backache is common during pregnancy
especially during your 30wks but im only
21wks so when I go to my doctor again I
will ask her and if your still interested
I will let you know what she says.

I would defanently be interested in what
she says. I'm going to talk to my doctor.

I had an irritable uterus which felt like
cramping. Imagine, a small uterus growing
a human getting stretched and kicked - of
course it would get irritable! ;)
any cramping, especially if it is rythmic,
or more than 6 contractions per hour, need
to be discussed with your doctor.
If you are ever concerned, you can call
and talk to the nurse at your doctor's
office. They are .G.R.E.A.T at putting
your mind at ease.

When I was around 8 wks pregnant, I had
severve cramps that made me vomit and just
feel weak. I though it was just normal
morning sickness, but my doctor told me
that I had bacterial vaginosis, which is
common in some pregnant women, but can't
be treated until your second trimester.
If this is the case your doctor will just
give you some antibiotics that will clear
it up. Also, other signs of this
infection is light yellowish coloroed
discharge. Which isn't harmful to the
baby and it isn't sexually transmitted.
