cramps?

[bdeards]

Have any of you experienced cramping in the middle  of the night that actually  wakes you up from your sleep? This happened to me a few times in my first trimester, but it just happened to me again last night and I am 15 weeks. The cramps are similar  to those I've felt from menstrual cramps. Lower abdomen, dull and achy. Not sure how long they have lasted because  it started when I was asleep,  but once it wakes me up I'm  up for another 10-20 mins because it makes me uncomfortable and difficult  to fall back asleep.

Im the same way try going and emptying your bladder the doctor told me that it was just the baby growing  nothing was wrong just tell your doctor

I have. Hurts so much n can b scary but doc told me long as im not bleeding im ok. It my body moving things around. Oh and she told me drink more water.lol

Hmmm, ok. I was dreaming  about  toilets before I woke up and did get up to go pee...so maybe that was it. Thanks!

A full bladder can cause Braxton hicks contractions. That may be what you are feeling.

Thanks :) yea I'm not too concerned  because  I've never had any bleeding or spotting that followed after,  so I'm guessing  and assuming  it just must be baby growing?

I never had this but the bigger my son got in my first pregnancy the less I slept at night. Babies are always more active at night so I could just be yours moving. I used to get sudden sharp pains which my mw said was my son catching the placenta when he moved. Nothing to worry about but could be that xx
