I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow and tonight I started to have some cramps. Its been a few hours and I still have them. They seem kinda low and not on just the left or right... kinda all around my uterus. No bleeding and no other symptoms, and I know its normal but I'm curious what our WTTC Grads BTDT women have experienced. I'm not worried but curious!!! Thanks soooo much!!!

DId you have them?
What did they feel like?
Were they on one side of your body or the other?
How preggo were you?
How long did they last? Weeks? Hours at a time?

DId you have them? Maybe?
What did they feel like? I've had cramp like feeling, more dull though.. like stretching and pulling etc
Were they on one side of your body or the other? Pretty much feels like my WHOLE uterus!
How preggo were you? Randomly through out, lots around the beginning, like where you are right now kinda thing.
How long did they last? Weeks? Hours at a time? No just minutes! Coming and going.

I think maybe they were them but I'm not to sure. Just randomly my tummy just feels like it's growing and sometimes it can hurt a bit.. well not really hurt but you know what I mean.

Is that what they are??

I've been reading about Round Ligament Pains tonight after a girl in my DDC mentioned it. And its kinda like the initial cramps I had around 6-7 weeks. Its not bad by any means, just enough to know its there. Like mild mentral cramps. I know its normal to have stretching. Maybe asking for all that baby belly bump dust has worked and my body is speeding up!! hehe

[Frozendesire]

Sounds like it!! I know I had alot of that kind of stuff at the beginning. If you see my bump pictures in the Feb DDC I grew FAST so I think that's why haha.

DId you have them? yes
What did they feel like? at first with Seamus it was little cramps, the later in pregnancy it became kind of a cramp mixed with a tugging feeling
Were they on one side of your body or the other? Mostly right but there were times when it was all over
How preggo were you? First ones really started around 10weeks
How long did they last? Weeks? Hours at a time? Not sure how long for sure, think the entire 2nd trimester, I'd feel it every couple hours.

Thanks Stephanie

Another question - last night DH and I DTD... would that bring on some cramps today???

[SandKmommy]

Yep it sure will! isn't it weird what bodies do while pregnant

[Frozendesire]

Ya for sure... haha DTD is interesting business when your preggers!!

[soImarriedAnerd]

DTD shouldn't cause more cramping. however having tons of bump dust poured on you can! But you bump starts to pop soon!

DId you have them? Yup and still do
What did they feel like? I get more of a pulling sensation or an "OMG can my tummy stretch anymore" type feeling
Were they on one side of your body or the other? Sometimes all over, sometimes at one side or both sides, sometimes at the top of my tummy right under my BBs
How preggo were you? Started around 5 weeks and has continued off an on.
How long did they last? Weeks? Hours at a time? The pulling normally only lasts a short while. THe stretching can last a whole evening.

The stretching feeling is my most common type of pain. Best thing to do is to lay down on my side with my knees slightly bent, kinda relieves the pressure of my body being straight whilst sitting/standing.

Did you have them? I started having the RL pains about a week ago. I'd never really noticed them and my midwife said I probably had strong ligaments. I only felt them for about 2-3 days thugh.
What did they feel like? My felt like a sharp pain and it was low in my uterus and also on my right side. I felt it when I stood up and walked but not when I was sitting or lying down.
Were they on one side of your body or the other? They were on my right side.
How preggo were you? 22+ weeks
How long did they last? Weeks? Hours at a time? My lasted about 2-3 days but not consistently throughout the day. They'd come and go and then they stopped. I think I noticed my belly being slightly bigger after too because I think my stomach was stretching during that time as well. I had that feeling like I would pop.

I've been getting them! They feel like sharp pains on the sides of my tummy and I'll feel crampy at time. DTD for me causes cramps but only when I orgasm. So a lot of the time I choose not to so I don't get paranoid or have to deal with discomfort
