Is this normal?

[Flannz94]

I'm 11 weeks today and for the last day or so I've been feeling as though I'm about to start my period. It's a strange feeling, not a cramp though. More like a dull ache. Has anyone else had this at this stage?

I had loads of cramping from about 6/7 weeks to 10/11 ish. I think it was probably just everything stretching out. I'm sure it is the same for you, and that baby is just fine. I know for me, it helped when I really guzzled water--like 100-150 ounces a day, and also made sure to sit and rest periodically.

That being said--it probably IS normal. But, listen to your body, and if you feel "off" it never hurts to give your doctor a call just to be sure.

I hope it eases up soon!! : )

Definitely. I felt like that a lot between 9 and 11wks. Just uterus stretching and growing to make room for baby! I even had some spotting. Nothing heavy though.

Normal

At 12 weeks with my first I got heaps of weird feelings, then pains, as things grew and stretched.
