I'm 8 1/2 weeks pregnant with my second child and over the past two days, I've had this strange feeling. Once or twice a day, I get a cramping feeling, usually on the left side. It's not very painful, just a little like right before my period. If I lay down on my left side, it goes away after about 15 minutes. I don't remember this happening the first time, but that was 7 years ago. I already know I have to go on bedrest at 24 weeks because my son was born 9 weeks early and they think the same will happen this time. In the meantime, my doctor has checked me with sonograms and bloodwork every week for the past three weeks since I found out and everything is perfect. I'll see him on Friday and I'll ask then, but wanted to see if it happened to others and if it's a sign this baby will come early too.

It is completely normal for your uterus to be contracting while pregnant. . .it will cause some cramping and pains. I had it quite a bit with both pregnancies.
If it feels unusual or increases. . .call you doctor. It's better to err on the side of caution.
My best to you~~
I absolutely loved being pregnant :)

I had the same thing, I was a little earlier than you 6 weeks and I even called my doctor because one time they were really bad cramps, but if I laid on my side, gone! It was so wierd she said it was just my uterus growing and I was fine. I guess I am cuz I am now 20 weeks. Still ask just to be sure.

This could be a result of the pressure placed on parts of your digestive tract.
If the sonograms are normal, you should feel confident things are going well!
Good luck!
