I've been cramping the whole time. As long as you're not bleeding I think you're ok. Good luck & I hope you get some comfort soon.

It's probably normal.
I had cramping at night a few days ago, and it was so bad it woke me up.. it hurt!
But that was cause I ate mc donalds and my tummy didn't agree with me on that.. so it were gas pains.
Also my lower tummy muscles ache, like i did sit ups or something

Are you constipated? it might be related to that!
Or just gas, I have alot of gas but it won't come out, also when I have to burp it wont come out easily, i have to rub my stomach to stimate it then i'll burp

Hope you're alright! Im sure its normal

i was thinking i could be constipated because when i go to the loo its just little pellets lol....tmi.............but yeah i feel like my tummy is just stretched out too.

Sounds like you're constipated!
That'll give you bad cramps in your lower tummy, for sure!

Few times I was constipated when I wasn't pregnant, and I'd wake up in the middle of the night with bad cramps!!

Maybe try drinking some prune juice..

 

[simmy85]

prune juice = vomit oh that is so nasty. any other tips for constipation?

 

[Lilly12]

Grape juice might help, that always helps me.
Try to drink at least 2 liter of water daily.
Try to eat lots of fiber such as veggies and fruit.
And try to go for a walk or so daily.. to keep those intestens moving!

Even just drinking lots of water can help. I have also been taking mint flavoured chorophyll in water.
