Period Type Cramps

[lepaskilf]

Hi, hope everyone is OK! Was just wondering if it is normal to have period like cramps during my 13th week? I thought they should have subsided by now! Any ideas!!!! xxxx

I'm still having them too. I've had them terrible throughout this pg but all experts I've asked say it's perfectly normal with all the stretching and tilting and moving that's going on in there so try not to worry too much hun. Just use it as an excuse to take it easy. x

Yep - I've had them too. Probably about once - twice a week, but they tend to last quite a while (not just a couple of minutes), and I've been really worried. Mentioned it to the MW and she suggested that if you have a tilted back uterus, it may be all the moving around, and could possibly explain why I haven't got much of a bump yet (I'm 15 weeks) - it just has a little bit further to go..? Does any of that make sense?

i had them until about 16w, i had a tilted uterus so that could have been something to do with it xx

I remember them well. Not had them for a bit but I do expect them to come back again when baby has a growth spurt. It's all very normal. Just your uterus stretching.
