Ouch! Holy cramps!!
I'm 17 weeks and I've been having some major cramping since last week. I called my OB to make sure this is normal and the nurse said yes between 16-18 weeks are when cramping can be bad. Has anyone had this? Oh and she said it could last for 2 weeks!! She said as long as I'm not bleeding the baby is fine. How does she know that!?!? Ugh March 13th can't come any faster for my next OB visit!!

Re: Ouch! Holy cramps!!
I remember around that time the same thing was happening to me. That and the sharp pains b/c my belly was gonna grown. This was around the holidays it was annoying to shop b/c I felt like a 90 year old woman. The cramps would come on and I'd have to stop walking around the mall and sit on the bench. I NEVER sat on the bench at a mall b4.

Re: Ouch! Holy cramps!!
Yes I was like this around 19 weeks. They told me it was round ligament pain, at some points for me walking was torture. It hurt more when I first got up, or changed my position in bed. It def. got better after 2 weeks or so.

Re: Ouch! Holy cramps!!
I had cramps in the 15-16 week range. Since there was never any blood I didn't worry too much. They've seemed to calm down and I dont have them much anymore now that I'm 19 weeks

Re: Ouch! Holy cramps!!
I had REALLY bad cramps around 17-18 weeks and went to the Dr. twice for them....baby was fine, and I just had to wait them out. I took tylenol some days to get by because they were bad...a few days later, magically, they just disappeared! I was so worried it was gonna stay like that, but they went away!
Hang in there!!!!

Re: Ouch! Holy cramps!!
Feel better! I've had cramps for a few weeks now.
My doctor said it is usually due to the fact that your uterus is expanding. Take it easy

Ive had them as well.
I try to "walk it out", Relax, or drink a ton of water.
Drinking the water helps.

see the nurse told me my OB won't see me unless I'm bleeding! And I can wait till March 13th for my next visit. I'm so mad! I should call again. I just need that visit so I have a peace of mind my baby is ok.

I should have added, I saw the nurse practioner each time....she said I should worry if there was spotting, but there wasn't any....but they did an ultrasound each time...
I normally drink water, but made sure to drink a lot more then...and I walked around for a little bit, as much as I could....they were BAD!

Re: Ouch! Holy cramps!!
I would say its normal...but if you're REALLY worrying and want to be seen, you should tell them that....
I would see how it goes for a couple of days....my cramps were HORRIBLE! So I thought something was wrong.....they definitely said it was normal around this time

Water helps alot with them. Just keep on drinking it. My DH laughs because I have half opened water bottles in my car and by the bed. But When I drink them I try to drink alot so the cramps don't come.
