Hi all,
I'm still getting used to the fact that I can post here!! But I have a small question. I'm feeling some pressure down near my uterus, mostly in the evening, but sometimes during the day. I remember that there can be some cramping when the ligaments start to stretch, but this isn't the same feeling. Its a bit of a cross between pressure and slight cramping (but mostly pressure). No spotting or sharp pains are involved. Its not my bladder, because I'm certainly emptying that more frequently!! I'm guessing that its just implantation and some "growing pains" as I'm only 4wk 1day. Its becoming more frequent over the past couple of days.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not really worried about it, as its making me feel that I'm actually pg!! Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Rachel,
I have been having them also. You are correct they are not cramps, but once I let out some gas, then I start to feel better!
Thanks ladies,
Although I'm having the regular bloating and some gas, it doesn't go away with passing gas. I think its just settling in, as was suggested. Like I said, no spotting, no sharp pains, I'm pretty sure its just my bean settling in for a long winter's nap!! Just wondering if anyone else was feeling this.
I also wonder if it may be twins which is making the symptoms more intense. They do run a bit on my mother's side - my grandmother was a twin. Guess I'll find out in due time!
Belly rubs to all!

Hi Rachel,
With all of my pgs, I felt that pressure during the early weeks along with that cramping feeling.

I had cramping just about every day through my 8th week. So I would say that as long as it isn't very painful or accompanied with bleeding/spotting you should be fine.

Thanks Diana,
That's what I had assumed it was. I know the difference between that gas feeling, and the other pressure. I didn't have this feeling last fall, and its been so long since my other pregnancies, I'd forgotten if I felt this then!!
Its actually making me feel better knowing that things are moving and growing in there!! Bring it on!!
