cramps in second trimester

[zarapipe]

I've been feeling little twinges/cramps/pulling down low these last few days. Of course I'm freaking out. I don't know what it is.... it is mostly in the same place, on one side. Its not horrible period or mc like cramps, but it still has me worried. I was thinking maybe it was the beginning of feeling the baby, but I don't remember what that felt like with DD and it does feel like a weak cramp.

I'm 15 weeks.

I had this exact same thing last week. I was very scared but I think it was just my muscles stretching. I had an appt on Friday and the baby was sitting right where I was having the pain/cramping.

It sounds like round ligaments stretching to accommodate the baby.

I agree with PP. It sounds like ligaments or muscles stretching. Right about that time(15 weeks) that happens as they start to grow.

I had that a couple days last week. It had me worried at the time but has stopped and I've been feeling the baby move so I'm assuming it was just stretching.

I'm only 12 weeks and I get some cramps but last time around with DS I had a TON of cramping through my whole pregnancy. I had a pretty long commute at the time so the more walking I did I always ended up super crampy. Last time around I felt movement at 14 weeks which is early but what your describing to me is my sort of normal.
