Avatar f tn Mentrual like cramps are normal in early pregnancy ,you have them because your uterus is stretching/expanding and making room for the baby.If it is not severe or you experience bleeding then nothing to worry abt it is normal.Have a healthy 9 months.
Avatar f tn Is it normal to have period like cramps during your pregnancy? Im 13 wks. I had those cramps this passed Monday, it woke me out of my sleep. It really made nervous and i checked to make sure i wasn't bleeding and i wasn't.
Avatar f tn Am 33 weeks and been having menstrual cramps on and of can this be contraction first pregnancy help!
Avatar f tn Im 36 weeks 2 days and this is my first pregnancy and don't kno much about it but I am so far 1 cm dilated lost my mucus plug already...
Avatar f tn Within that week the symptons that I been experiencing were bloating, sore breast and back aches. I recently been experiencing menstrual cramps off and on for three days. Is the menstrual cramps a sign of pregnacy? I am due to take my blood test June 10th 2008. I am praying that this will work. In the beginning, I was kind of disappointed that only one egg fertilized but when I found out that I had a healthy embryo it restored my hope.
Avatar m tn i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 2weeks ago(he pulled out), right after i believe my ovulation began. two days later i started experiencing cramps, but my menstrual wasnt due for another two weeks. I usually get cramps a couple hours before my menstrual starts.
Avatar f tn When I got pregnant, I kept getting menstrual cramps right around the time I was supposed to start my period and after it was late. It felt like I would start literally any minute and like you, I kept feeling wet and running to the bathroom to check. So it's definitely an indication but not a sure thing. You should take a pregnancy test first thing in the morning like clysta said. Good luck!!
7750527 tn?1397990512 s not like menstrual cramps. Their is a difference right. And is anybody els dealing with this or should I call my midwife?
Avatar f tn If you mean you are currently pregnant, and you are having menstrual cramps as if you are about to start your period, then that is normal. As ling as there is no blood. I am 9 weeks and still have menstrual cramps. Bodies have to change a lot during pregnancy!
Avatar f tn To me, they didn't feel any different. I was prepared for disappointment because I thought my period was about to come. I don't think every woman feels cramping during implantation, just like every woman does not experience spotting.
362119 tn?1223137936 I'm not sure what it is exactly but it's probably part of the process... I'm preggo w/my first so I have no experience to share, but I'm pretty sure cramping is very normal at the end of pregnancy as your body prepares for labor/birth. I've had occassional menstrual like cramps too and I'm not as far along as you. My doctor equates it to either BH, normal uterine cramping, or constipation or diarrea. Do you have an appointment soon?
Avatar f tn Its my first pregnancy and I've also been having those weird menstrual like cramps, I was reading that drinking (even) more water helps. Nice to know I'm not alone on this I was starting to worry.
Avatar f tn Some women describe Braxton Hicks contractions as tightening in the abdomen that comes and goes. Many women say they feel like mild menstrual cramps. Unlike true labor, these contractions are usually not painful and do not happen at regular intervals. They do not get closer together, do not increase with walking, do not last longer as they go on, and do not feel stronger over time as they do when you are in true labor. What Do True Labor Contractions Feel Like?
Avatar f tn ) as long as they are not too painfull, and there is no spotting or bleeding :) as the previous person said, its the stretching of everything inside there :)
Avatar n tn I did ! No worries this is normal in early pregnancy unless they become progressively worse and too painful. Mention it to your doc!
Avatar f tn I am almost 6 weeks and have off and on menstrual like cramps anywhere from my sides to my pelvic area. I had an ovarian cyst rupture recently so I was told the pain in my side came from the fluid left around my ovaries and that it would take care of itself. It has been 11 days since the cyst ruptured but I still occasionally have pain. I don't have any spotting nor bleeding but want to know if this is normal (outside of a cyst) pregnancy symptoms. Any advice is great!
Avatar f tn why am i cramping so bad? I have menstrual like cramps al day long, no bleeding though. Went to the er and they did nothing told me to call my doctor! I just left my docs and saw a np not my doc who tells me i am listed as a threatened abortion in my charts. Why was i not told of this? Why did she not pull my blood or check on my cervix or even do a ultrasound to make sure the fetus is developing okay? I feel like a guinea pig waiting for a bad outcome.
Avatar f tn I am 18 weeks and have been having menstrual like cramps low in my abdomen on and off, along with discharge daily. (sorry TMI) I've read that these symptoms are normal, but I had low amniotic fluid with my last pregnancy and am just paranoid at this point. Anyone else have these symptoms?

Avatar f tn Then at 24wks I started getting random uterine contractions that felt like bh but with a menstrual cramp and pain in the back and would take my breath away, even had one in the middle of an ob appointment, he still said it was ok because it was random. At 27wks, I woke up feeling a bit off and occassional menstrual cramps. By lunch I also had intestinal cramps and felt like I needed to have diarrhea so went to the toilet, felt like I couldn't get up for 1.
