Period Cramps

[Petrosdoll]

Im 5w today and started period like cramps. Its very uncomfortable but not super painful. Just scared since I had two miscarriages before this baby and both lost around 5w-6w... I dont even wanna go to the restroom afraid if wiping and seeing blood :/ Im taking it one day at a time...

Also I forgot to mention that I'm 21 weeks and started spotting 2 days ago. I freaked out and called my OB. I was adviced to watch it for 24 hours and if I was still bleeding I have to go in. I just saw him today and they had to do another series of ultrasound to check the cervix and placenta. It's normal for pregnant women to bleed or spot because of that pressure in the womb. My OB said that it's similar when we rub our nose and see blood in our hand from rubbing. But like what I said, keep an eye on it. Wear a pad to keep track of how much you're bleeding. Do not use a tampon. Good luck!

As long as there's no bleeding you'll be fine. But if you start spotting, make sure to wear a pad to keep track of the bleeding if it happens.

I've been watching your updates because I can totally identify! I've lost 3 and it's so hard to not worry! I'm 16 weeks and still have my freak out moments. I'm especially nervous right now because we go for a sono tomorrow and I'm so scared something will be wrong! What is there to do, though, besides just stay calm and trust? Best wishes! I really hope for the best for you!

When u go to the bathroom dont look at the tissue after u wipe. I had this nasty little habit of doing it every time I used the the bathroom hoping to see no blood until at 6 weeks I saw the tiniest drop of blood. You could imagine my fear I was like "am I bleeding?!!" Took some more tissue & kind of stuck my finger in there with the tissue & found out that it was blood. The drop was about the size of a pent tip. After freaking about it & thinking about it non stop for 2 days I went to the er (the bleeding stopped I'm just a psycho--it was such a tiny amount smh) & everything was fine. -___- A week later I had spotted a little bit. Every thing is fine. I will bring 15 weeks on Friday. Try not to look when u use the bathroom it adds unnecessary stress u know. Had I not looked I would of been spared of thinking something was wrong.

Thank u ladies... Im drinking plenty of water taking my vitamin & my progesterone. Been taking it easy all day :)

I had two miscarriages as well as was the exact same way you are. I was afraid I would see blood every time I wiped . I was having cramps early but they went away after a few days. I think it was maybe gas or my uterus growing? I'm almost 15 weeks now and everything is fine. Just try to relax and take it easy. Drink lots of water, take your vitamin, and nap all you can. Congrats momma :)

Hi just lay down and relax . Im 11 weeks today. I found out I was pregnant at around 4 weeks. I cramped really bad for the next three weeks, every time I used the bathroom I was terrified that I would see blood but never did :-). The cramping stopped around week eight. Now I just have gas and constipation pains. Lol

I use to sit every night for nearly two weeks with a hot water bottle due to cramps. I was so worried. 27 weeks now and everything has been fine. Xx

[PhillyBabi87]

I was the same way. I hated it! As long as you don't have any bleeding you'll be fine it's just everything stretching out. Fun! Lol

[Petrosdoll]

I hate it just makes me super nervous! Its like clock work as soon as I turned 5w u start ti cramp :(

[rachello1988]

I was exactly the same upto about 8 weeks. As long as there's no bleeding you're fine! I know just what you mean about being scared to go to the toilet!
