How long do the cramps last?
I know cramping is supposedly normal, but how long do they last? Is there a way to tell between "bad" cramps and "good" cramps?
So far I have been cramping for like 9 days (since 8 dpo) - they feel just like AF cramps (which is not exactly reassuring!). I appreciate any advice you can offer!

Re: How long do the cramps last?
I think it went on until i was about 5-6 weeks or so- they were v. bad- bad enough they kept me up @ night.

Ohh ... good to know! My cramps were pretty bad last night that I kept waking up and I was concerned about that. Thanks!

Re: How long do the cramps last?
I, too, am cramping.....I just worry that something might not be right, but it seems like a lot of people get the cramps...

I cramped for a while in the beginning too, but I honestly can't remember for how long.
Sorry

With Emma I think they lasted from about 5-9 weeks on and off. They just never really stop since you are growing.

Re: How long do the cramps last?
I'm just into 5 weeks and the cramping is MUCH less. It was unnerving at first- I thought for sure something was wrong.

Re: How long do the cramps last?
mine went on for a few weeks also.
The Drs just say "Its normal"...ya have to get used to that answer bc its pretty common throughout your whole pregnancy no matter what you are feeling

Re: How long do the cramps last?
Oh man ... I have been up all night with these cramps and now diarrhea (sorry if TMI).  Is diarrhea a symptom? Or do I have some random stomach virus? Can I take Pepto? I want to be sleeeeeping right now.
Edit: I just did some searching and I will not be taking Pepto. I just made some toast so hopefully that calms things down.

Re: How long do the cramps last?
I am 9 weeks and still a cramp here and there. As long as there is no red blodd I wouldn't worry. Maybe you just have a little stomach bug or you are worrying yourself too much. Don't.

I had THE SAME thing, right at your point too. it gets better!
NO pepto. Kaopectate is the only one you can safely take, my Dr. Said Kaopectate doesnt pass into the blood , is fine.
