Quick question

[USAF_WIFE]

For those who are on 4th plus pregnancies have you experienced more intense cramping and longer? I am still cramping pretty badly and it freaks me out. I had a minor bleed at 6 weeks and nothing since but im constantly worried when cramps last for over a day on and off. I had a healthy baby on scan at 11+3 was measuring 3 days ahead then as well. *sigh* I feel like until my belly has a soccer playing baby im going to be scared.

Yes, my uterus was pretty cranky with me early on in this pregnancy. The cramping lasted longer, and then at 8 weeks the contractions started (I have an Irritable Uterus). I think it's pretty normal, unfortunately. But if it starts to get really bad, or you're worried, talk to your doctor. It's possible you have some sort of infection that's causing the pain.

I'm on my 4th pregnancy too and definitely much achier!! Seems to last longer too than my previous pregnancies. I think it's totally normal don't worry!

Yep! I was actually worried about an ectopic for a while there the cramps got to bad. Im now 31 weeks and this pregnancy has been so hard on my body.

I'm on #5 and was getting period type cramps up until about 17-18 weeks, they worried me to as I'm sure I can't remember them going on that long with my previous pregnancies. Touch wood though The last couple of weeks have been ok

I am glad I asked because other than the cramping worries I feel confident my body is doing its job since I am still very sick, suffering the joys of early insomnia, gastrointestinal distress, super smelling powers, sore hips, and nips.
