I'm 16 weeks pregnant.. and yesterday and today I have been having little cramps on the front of my stomach a little below my belly button.. I'm nervous because I miscarried in May although the cramps last time were way my intense.. it still kinda scares me... Is this normal? I have a Dr.'s appointment next Tuesday. They are not bad enough to go in or anything .. just want to know if this is normal????

I went to the Dr. because I got really worried and wanted to make sure it was nothing, and I didn't think I could wait till next week... well turns out I have a UTI.. but the baby is fine and everything seems to be going good!!!

I'm almost 15 weeks pregnant myself, and was also worried about cramping i've been having.
After doing much research and reading, and after talking to my care provider, i've come to understand it's completely normal.
The uterus needs to stretch and grow, and since we've reached the baby's 'rapid growth period' our uterus is expanding much more quickly than previously in our pregnancy.
Best of luck- I know it can be a pain [literally and figuratively]; i hope it passes soon for both of us!

Yea, I had a lot of stressful cramps and abdomen pulls thus far and that i'm 18 weeks. I requested my record if I might want to be in contact and he or she reported that maximum in all probability i replaced into experiencing the round ligaments pulling from a growing to be abdomen. It felt like a sharp soreness each from time to time or only a cramp of one aspect or both on your decrease abdomen. besides i'd really ask you record at your next appointment only to ensure yet i imagine you'd be nice. this is totally known to problem about each little element, vast or small. attempt to appreciate your being pregnant and sturdy success!

Its probably completely normal round ligament pain (your body streching to make room for your growing baby), but if you are concerned I would put a call in to your doctor. After experiencing a loss you have every right to be nervous and I'm sure that your doctors will understand that. Maybe they can see you sooner or just answer your questions over the phone to put your mind at ease.
Remember, your doctors are employed by you, you should never be afraid to call them if your worried, thats what they are there for.
Best of Luck!

congratulations, as long as ur not spotting some cramping is normal especially when ur entering a new month. i recommend that u try to stay of ur feet as much as possible and when ur lying down elevate ur feet. i had three kids and all were high risk i had one at 7months,and 2 at 8months so my doctors always told me to do this, also i work at a gyno clinic and he always tell his patients to do what i told u . good luck

I'm 15 weeks and have the same thing. This is normal. Your uterus is getting bigger and stretches and contracts everyday.

i wouldnt worry to much it is most probably nothing!! and yes they usually are normal, the only time that you are sposed to really worry is if there is cramping with bleeding/spotting. just mention it to your LMC next time you see them.

I don't mean to scare you, but I think "any" time there is cramping, you should contact your doctor. Just to be safe. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Good luck and congrats.
