More cramps at 10 weeks than previous weeks

[Estesbaby]

I will 11 weeks on Monday and I have been having cramping more often than before. I know it's considered normal, and I don't think anything is wrong. I had an ultrasound on Monday and baby measured perfect and had a good heartbeat.

I'm just curious, is there a reason for this? Before I was only cramping like once a week or so and now it's everyday but its very mild and sometimes I can't really even consider it a cramp, more of just being uncomfortable.

I had bad cramping a week ago and its gotten a lot better.. My doctor told me it was the results of your uterus growing, and everything stretching inside. Which would make sense to me.

 

[Estesbaby]

Makes sense. I knew it was due to the uterus stretching and all, I just didn't know if it maybe stretches/grows more during this time because the cramping has been more frequent.

Its probably stretching because in the next couple weeks your womb will get a bit higher and a bump will start growing.

I think you are heading towards quite serious growth soon, throughout my last pg i would have phases of it actually being quite sore internally, but if you think how big your uterus gets its no surprise! I think it affects you less in a way as when you get bigger EVERYTHING is just so different (your bones and organs move!) you stop really noticing the wee things so much.
I also think around 10-11 weeks things are changing in that the placenta is taking over supplying the embryo/foetus so that may be causing it x

Hi Estesbaby...I think we are due around the same time! I have also had more cramping this week in comparison to previous weeks...I did do some research and apparently it is perfectly normal Hope your ok xxx

LaDY, we are very close! I'm 10+5!

So happy to know that it's normal! Have you noticed your symptoms easing at all? H&H 9 months!

Thanks to everyone else as well! Good to know that everything still seems to be progressing well! Good luck to you all!

hi! I like to stop by the first trimester threads every once in awhile and chime in when I think I can help...

Around 10-12 weeks I had terrible cramping... it worried me quite a bit. Like the others have said before me, it is definitely "growing cramps." Around week 12-13 I got my first signs of a bump and it made more sense. It's definitely just growing and stretching cramps. When you feel them, try to just rest if you can!

Here's to a happy healthy nine months!

My cramping comes and goes - and mine is often quite painful! We don't grow at the same rate all the time so it will be more painful or uncomfortable during growth spurts!
