belly cramps - 12 weeks

[lizzymcfizzy]

HI

I've been getting bad belly cramps today and yesterday, I'm not sure if its constipation, gas or something else.

Yesterday I was so tired I kept falling asleep and was soooo bloated.

I looked up the bubhub list but it only lists cramps as in the legs.

Anyone else get this? Is there anything I can do?

I've taken some Rennie and am drinking lots of water but it doesn't seem to be helping.

TIA~!

I had cramps similar to AF on numerous occasions and have even had them as recent as yesteday!! (not as bad as AF but identical). What I have read and been told by my OB is that you gotta remember everything is moving and your uterus is stretching and growing so that will cause some cramping...I usually just have a lay down for a while when its happening. As long as it is not painful or you have bleeding you have nothing to be concerned about.

Hi
Im new here.....im 6.4 weeks along and i have really bad cramps too.Its like really really bad period pain and sharp pains when i quickly move + back pain . At least im not the only one feelin it.It hurts and paracetamol doesnt seem to help......wish i could take nurifen. I havent got morning sickness but i feel really sick and heartburn.

Maybe if ur sick then that is giving the cramps. Or just put it down to all the stretching and fluids filling that our bodys not use to.
my Dr said its all fine unless u get bleeding.

Hope u get better,hope i do too cause its so horrible.
