Burning Pain

Hi

Well im (according to scan) 8weeks 4 days today (although by my working 9 weeks 4 days) and have been having on/off cramping (quite painful) for a little over 2 weeks now.

The pain over the past couple of nights (it tends to be worse at night) has felt like a burning sensation right across the very bottom of my tummy.

I know i have been suffering from alot of painful gas but are these cramps really nothing to be worried about at this stage?????

Any advice greatly appreciated

Well i had a scan on January 2nd and the babay looked ok they dated it at 6 weeks 3 days and could see the heartbeat. I guess im just worrying when realistically if something is wrong theres not much i can do anyway. Just scares me alot.

I figured i am (by my own dates) 9weeks 3 days but docs measured it a week less.

Guess i just gotta wait for scans but my booking appointment isnt until Feb 1st so im worried it will be the middle of feb by the time i am offered a scan.

Over the past few days i have noticed i am (Sorry for all those with a weak stomach) more "wet" down there  - very wet infact at times.

Is this normal????

well I was about 9 weeks and the night before my 1st appointment I was having some cramping in my right shoulder and I had a really bad feeling....went in the next day and they did a pelvic exam and said everything was perfect. I had the cramping in my stomach after that..only for about 3 days or so...  I went back 2 weeks later for my 1st u/s and they didn't find a heartbeat or a baby.  Only an empty sac.  They said that the baby had stopped developing and they wern't sure how far along I was when it happened but they thought about 4 weeks.  So the baby died around 4 weeks I guess and I had my cramping at about 9 weeks and found out at 10 1/2 or so and had a d&c at 11 weeks.  I didn't mean to frighten you but everyone told me not to worry about it that it was normal and I just didn't feel like it was.  Not that me catching it any earlier could have saved the baby but I would not have gotten so far along asuming everything was okay.  Better to be safe than sorry I guess.  But next time I will know not to believe everything the doctors say....When he did the pelvic exam he said it was the perfect size for a healthy 9 week pregnancy...go figure.  Also my cramps didn't feel much like AF type cramps they actually felt like I was about to blow the bathroom up.  I kept trying to have a BM b/c I thought that was where the pain was coming from. Hope this helps

A&E is where i went before seeing my doc as it was the festive period and my regular GP refused to see me.

I then had emergency scan and they said all looks ok but that was 2 weeks ago not and still cramping.

Rachie - at what stage did you MC?

i had pretty bad craming at 8-9 weeks with no bleeding....everyone blew it off and told me it was normal and turned out i was having a miscarriage.  Yes it could be something minor and normal but it could also be something more serious...if you are feeling uncomfortable with what your doctor is telling you I would go to the ER and just have them check you out.  If there is something wrong they will be able to help you and if everything is normal you can relax.

heatherlynn - See my cramps are pretty constant and tend to get worse at night and eary morning when im lying in bed. Has been this way since i found out i was PG about 2/3 weeks ago.

Doc said unless bleeding just see them as normal but surely being pregnant shouldnt be painful???

neasyc - how far gone are you??

Did the docs ever explain why the cramping was happening or was it just normal??

i've been having cramping to. it's almost like a/f cramping but not constent...it just comes and goes. i've read it's normal. it could be your uterus and muscles moving and stretching for the baby. if you're really worried give your doc a call or even another doc for a second opinion. if it gets to bad go to the er just to be safe.

Ive spoken to the doctor and he said the baby is in the right place(had scan to check for ectopic and all looked ok at 6wk 3 day - which i think must really be 7 wk 3 day according to time of intercourse and there was a heartbeat and all looked ok)

Doc just said cramping could be normal and if theres no bleeding i will have to wait until next scan (which should be in around 3 weeks)

Im just panicing incase something is wrong and they wont scan again without due cause.

Has anyone else suffered from cramping at 8/9 weeks and if so when did it ease off???

Oh i forgot to mention i am also having AGONIZING back pain.

(I have super large breasts - size 30GG) and suffer from backache quite regularly but it seems to be getting worse to the extent im having to lie down throughout the day.

Is it possible this pain and the constant stomach cramps may be related?????

I has U/S on 3rd Jan as i was worried and they said all was ok and no UTI.

I dont have next scan for around 3/4 weeks and am so scared something may be wrong and i wont know until then.

I know cramps are meant to be normal but these cramps vary in strength but are pretty constant most of the time.

Is anyone else suffering from cramps at this stage???
