Anyone getting sore lower abdomen????

[Hoping]

Hi girls, just wondering if you are experiencing the same thing as me. Over the past few days I have been feeling a little sore down there. I'm crossing my fingers that it is just ligament stretching but since this is my first baby I really don't know. Does it happen this early in pregnancy? I'm almost 10 weeks along now and have been a little worried about the well being of Piglet. Plus I have a urine infection and have to take antibiotics, which i am not happy about, but my OB prescribed them so I guess they won't harm bubs too much.

Can't wait for my scan in another 1.5 weeks to check that Piglet is still OK. Sorry just had to let it all out as its a little stressful at the moment.

Ive def got cramps and a fullness in lower ab some days. Ive found that it eases a bit if I keep my feet up for a while. :fingerscrossed: Its nothing but stretching for both of us!

My Ob thinks it is wind from constipation :o

[Moops]

Yep me too

I have mild cramping and a 'heaviness' i guess in my lower abdomen, as well as lower back pain. All of these are usually signs for me that AF is coming so ive been really stressing out and checking everytime i go to the loo! Im hoping its normal.

Ive also been blessed with constipation which i think is attributing to the feeling!

Thanks ladies that makes me feel so much better knowing that it is normal. I was starting to wonder what was wrong with me!

Moops: you can try prune juice. I had terrible constipation a couple of weeks ago and metamucil wasn't working for me. I take half a glass in the morning and half when I get home from work and it has done wonders. Although it helps that I don't mind the taste of prune juice. I know ladies out there that can't stand it.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

i too have cramping down there. i also had it with DD and my OB told me it is just the muscles stretching, nothing to worry about. i like how men always say nothing to worry about, how would they know!lol.

Hoping ~ i noticed you said you have a urine infection. If your really unhappy about the antibiotics, try drinking 1 to 2 glasses of unsweetened Cranberry juice each day while the symptoms last. This has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in the bladder. Some people blend it with parsley or drink regular glasses of barley water while symptoms are present. Works with my DD :yes:

My stomach is sore all the time which is really stressing me out. Glad to know i'm not alone. Still cant help but check everytime I go to the toilet to make sure i'm not bleeding.

Tuesday I have a scan.....wish it was today :o
