Abdominal Muscle Spasms
by Shira, May 02, 2003 12:00AM
Hi, I am hoping someone can help me with 2 questions.
I am 32, have 1 missed spontaneous abortion at 14 weeks. I am recently pregnant again. My cycles are about 35 days long and I tested on the 36th day and got a weak positive line on the home pg test. I have all the pregnancy symptoms, no vomiting. I am now 37 days post LMP.
My first question is that my symptoms, though more intense this time around, flucuate throughout the day. The breast tenderness was especially bad on day 35 post LMP, and sort of waxes and wanes. Nausea flucuates too, usually a backdrop but not consistent. Is that normal, to have fluctuation?
Second question has to do with several episodes of abdominal spasms last night that woke me out of a sound sleep. Apparently I stretch a lot in my sleep, and each time I went from a curled up position to a stretched-out one, I got intense muscular abdominal cramps, like charley horse. The went away instantly when I curled back up. They felt like surface muscles, not like period cramps. Has anyone had this? All I can think of is that I have a retroverted uterus, could this be related? Should I call my doc?
Thanks,
Shira

I think I am pregnant (just barely) and my breasts will be sore at different times of the day - sometimes sore sometims not.
And some parts of the day I feel really tired and sometimes not.
I have headace off and on. I never get headache.
I have not taken preg test yet, does this sound pregnant to you?
Good luck on this pregnancy for you!
