Menstrual-like cramps.No bleeding..yet?
| Thu, 03-01-2007 - 8:05am |
Hey girls, Just wondering how many...if anyone...of you have had period like cramping during early pg? For those of you who don't know me..I am only in my fifth week and had some bleeding/spotting but lab draws have been progressing in the right direction. I have pretty much stopped spotting this morning but have had menstrual like cramps off and on and low back pain. I am taking progesterone and my dr said this should not "put off" a m/c but they are not drawing lab again until next Wednesday and will not be doing an ultrasound until March 26. I am so worried that this is going to turn out bad and I will have false hope this whole time. With my 2 previous pg/mc I never had this problem. ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks as always

Keli,
I cramped through almost the entire 1st trimester. Needless to say I was scared the entire time, but this little thing is still going strong! Let us know how it all goes.

A few days before AF was due and then about a week after I had the most intense pain. I felt like i was having another mc and I was convinced I was not pregnant. When I found out I was, the cramping made me cry and cry because I was sure it was over, but here I am now at 34 weeks. I guess it was just everything getting snug and sticking that I was probably feeling, but it is very scarry. I hope that is all you are experiencing. Best of luck.

I'm so sorry this has been such a struggle for you so far :-( It's too bad our pgs cannot all be easy!
I too had menstrual like cramping from wks 4 through about wk 8. I had some spotting, and clotting too. In the end all was fine - I'm now going on 24 wks.
I hope yours is nothing as well. It might be worth a call to the doc, if you haven't already.
Hugs,
Amanda
Hi Keli
Sorry to hear you're going through this.
I had menstrual-type cramping, especially in early PG, but even occasionally now at 16 weeks.
I also had spotting/bleeding from weeks 3 until 11 and everything is still fine.
I hope the spotting stays away for you and you can experience the sensations as your uterus stretching to accommodate your baby.
Let us know how you go.
