Uterine Cramps

[adellademona]

It seems I've been having cramps more often as I progress in weeks. At 8 weeks I cramped for a few hours sporadically, but now I'm 9 weeks I've been cramping for a few days on and off. I know it's the uterus stretching to make room for baby bean, but gosh! They're so distracting and it just piles on top of nausea and gassiness.

Is there anything to be done to ease my discomfort? It's not extraordinarily painful - sometimes it's like a sharper period cramp but not as "deep."

Paracetamol, it's the English version of Advil or whatever it is thats safe for you to use in pregnancy in the usa.

drinking more water helps with my cramps, but if I let my bladder get full, it makes them much worse! I've already started having bad RLP- had that and bad cramps throughout first tri last time too....
