Period like cramps?

[Gizzyy]

Yesterday I did a lot of tidying up as we're moving in 2-3 weeks. I noticed a little while after I had pains either side of my bump. Then later that night I had dull menstrual like cramps in my belly and back I was worried but I took paracetamol and laid down. Today they're not there. Is this just normal stretching pains?..
I haven't experienced any BH (as far as I know..) this pain wasn't a contracting feeling and my stomach didn't go hard. Baby is still moving around and I checked HB on Doppler. x

Hey Gizzy I had this a few weeks ago with it on the sides and in my back after doing a bit more than I am used to and did the same thing as you and it went away. I asked my dr about it and he said it's normal when you exert yourself to get AF type cramping and then said drink lots of water and rest....the cure-all for everything right lol?

Hey Gizzy,

I actually had cramps like that all night and this morning. I happened to be in the hospital for a cervix length check and they hooked me up to track uterine activity. I wasn't having any contractions, but the cramps did make a slight impact on the monitor.

As long as you don't feel the hardening, all should be okay! Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't worsen or continue for too long.

If ever you're worried, there's no harm in getting checked out anyway! Peace of mind does wonders lol.

Thanks I think I'll get checked if it happens again. I'm hoping I just over did it yesterday as I don't normally get contractions.
