I hate cramps- they scare me

Hi there,

Well, after feeling somewhat positive after my 3rd draw on wed, now I am just not feeling so good about this. I have been having cramps on and off since Oing and I know it is normal. I had cramping often when pregnant with my DS (and actually bleeding too). But I started having cramps that felt a little different yesterday after noon...constant, deeper and lower. I felt like my uterus was preparing to just spit everything out. It reminded me of how I felt during many of my losses this year. I told my DH when he got home from work late last night that I thought this one was over too. I am at the 5 week mark where I lost most of my other ones. But no blood so far . The cramping got better this morning and now is back again, but very mild. I just feel like everything is loose and ready to come out at any moment- *sigh*.

So I am trying to stay off my feet, as much as you can with a 2 yr old. I know there is nothing I can do. My next draw isn't until wed or thurs- I don't think I can wait that long.

Thanks for letting me vent and be scared here with you all...

Kristin

All the best,

Kristin :o)

I am sorry your so worried. Most of what you are feeling is due to being a PAL. I remember feeling the exact same way..all the time. It has gotten better but I still have those days.I know its hard but try not to worry too much. I actually had bleeding in the first trimester and prepared myself that I would probably be m/c again. I am now 30 weeks and everything has been great. Your cramps can be very normal. I had them and I know a lot of other women on this board have too. Hang in there, remember the saying around here...FAITH OVER FEAR.

Hey Kristen,


I'm so sorry you're having cramps...I know they are scary, especially if they were a symptom of your prior losses.
