Cramps

[justduckydancer]

Are mild stomach/back cramps normal? I had some last night that felt like it does right before my period starts. Should I be worried?

[joolz]

I had those pretty constantly for a while. I think it's nothing to be concerned about unless accompanied by bleeding.

[justduckydancer]

Nope no bleeding.

Those are totally normal. It's your uterus expanding.

Have I told you how glad I am to be going through this with you?

I cramped on and off through most of first tri. And still do occasionally.

I have this past week. I hate it

I know. I know in my head that all the random pains and feelings are normal, but it still freaks me out.

I usually am find mentally the first 2 weeks between appts. The second 2 weeks I start freaking myself out until I go back in again.

It doesn't help that I still haven't felt movement.

I had cramps fairly often in my first tri. Ditto everyone else - if there's no blood, you're okay.

Actually, when I was... maybe 6 weeks along? I have HORRIBLE HORRIBLE OMG cramps. Worst I have ever felt. I was sitting on the bathroom floor, shivering from the pain, trying not to puke. It was the absolute worst. But no bleeding, and baby is fine.

I don't think I felt little Grayson kick until 22-23 weeks and even then I thought it was gas.

[joolz]

Aw thanks! Me too. We had a real pickle finding two names of each kind we agreed on (and ended up using our other favourite, Luke, as one of his middle names). We still only have one girl name and I don't know HOW we will pick a boy name.

I still get that feeling sometimes. I felt it yesterday and Saturday too. Baby is kicking away in there.

Ironically this is a name my husband and I both said we like last night! lol

Well I love it! So you should use it.
