I am 13 weeks pregnant. I have been feeling almost like a pulsation that doesn't hurt from my lower abdomen almost to my vaginal area. It does not hurt exactly but is really scary feeling. I thought you wouldn't feel braxton hicks. They are not that often though but I was wondering whether I need to go to the er. I am not crampy exactly. Although here lately I've been getting crampy on one side but even that is not severe. It's probably caused from the stretching. I had a miscarriage long ago but it was the very beginning of pregnancy. Should I be worried. I go Feb 21st to a doctor but I needed to know your opinions. I don't want to go if it is not a legitamate scare, but I've never heard of having contractions this early. It kind of scares me.

The uterus and surrounding muscles contract and stretch from early pregnacy, not everyone feels these though. As you are concerned and have miscarried in the past it would be advisable to seek out your medical practioner for a review, which will enable to you to put your mind to rest, otherwise you will just stress about it until your review on 21 of feb.

It might be the baby starting to move but I would rather be safe then sorry so what could it hurt to go in and get checked out? It'll at the least give you a peace of mind that the baby is alright.

no you should not be feeling any braxton hicks now,but your body has to do a lot of stretching to get ready to hold that nice healthy baby of yours.just to be on the safe side call your OB and ask them a few questions,they love when you call that way they know that you are concerned.oh and don't worry every thing will be alright!!!!relax and try to stay off your feet as muck as you can!!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND CONGRATS!!!!!!!!

I suggest you going to doctor now if you have had an earlier miscarriage. Braxton -Hicks usually come much later in a pregnancy.
good luck

at 13 weeks there's nothing the ER could do for you but give you pain pills and send you home. they wont step in because the baby wouldn't make it. If your not bleeding I would wait and call your doc tomorrow, If you start bleeding Go in and get seen. Also if you feel that you need to be seen tonight go in. your body your baby. Only you know what's right for you. Good luck

Why don't you call the ER and ask them? I had that at like 6 months and I went to the ER cause I had just been in a hot tub and I didn't know you couldn't get in a hot tub when you are pregnant and I went and they drew my blood and did the pap smear and it was nothing and the nurse told me next time call cause it sucks to have all that awful stuff done and then it be nothing. So just call and ask them.

Cramping isn't unusual in the first trimester. Is there any bleeding? When in doubt, go to the ER. Or , at the very least, call your doctor first thing.

At 13 weeks you shouldn't be having abdominal pains. What's your water intake like? Sometimes if you're dehydrated you feel things you shouldn't. But there is no doubt in my mind that you should call your doctor's office first thing in th morning.

you know.. i think i have those every now and then. for me it is a bad sharp feeling that pulsates down to the vagina, and its so bad that i cant really move. im not exactly sure what it is either.. but i had that before i got pregnant. even before i had sex...

sounds like you feeling the baby move, its kinda early for that but it sounds like that is what your feeling, call the doc and ask that's what their there for. better safe and feel reassured then sorry.
