Discomfort and very mild pain

[Anxiousmom2b]

Hi,

From day one I've had cramps most days. I've had two early scans which all show things are developing normally. The cramps have now stopped but I'm left with real discomfort in my lower stomach and every now again I get a bit of pain. Its there for most of the day.

Is this just discomfort normal? this is my first baby and so far things have been far more uncomfortable at this early stage than I thought it would.

I have my 12 weeks scan next week, but I just wanted to know if anyone else had this?

cramps are normal in early pregnancy so i wouldnt worry unless theres bleeding involved ....do u feel u need a wee alot it cud be the start of a uti maybe x

bleeding stopped a couple of weeks ago. Just the discomfort and like a pressure feeling there. Maybe I'll drink some cranberry juice.

Does it feel like bloating and pressure with some pains when you move?
We were just discussing this on the 6 to 7 week thread as both Lizzy and I have this today and wondered what it was! I wonder if its due to growing and stretching

Hi there glad you asked that question as that's exactly how I'm feeling. I'm 9+1 today and I had bloating, discomfort and pressure in my lower abdo / pelvis at about 6 weeks which then settled. It's now back with a vengeance and I get more bloated as the day proceeds. Some cream discharge but no bleeding. Pain had eased this morning on waking but comes back during day. I think it's stretching and things moving down there - bean grows loads between 8 and 12 weeks. I also think it's worse if I'm a bit constipated which also makes sense. Hope it settles for you soon. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for both of us.

if it feels like pressure its more than likely a uti i have been having this 4 a couple of weeks backache cramping and feeling the urge 2 wee so i wouldnt drink cranberry juice as it has alot of sugar in it and the bacteria feeds of sugar so just try drinking plenty of water if the symptoms still there go 2 gp with a urine sample i got my scan nxt week so i will say about it while im there

good luck xx

Thanks all. It does feel like pressure.

I had bad cramps again last night so maybe its all down to stretching. I'm a bit of a worrier and so it just keeps playing on my mind. I will definatly mention it next week at my scan.

I think once I've had that scan and all is normal maybe I'll be happier just to put up with the discomfort. Pregnancy is so full of uncertains, I find it quite stressful.

Hope all goes well for you all too!
