Congratulations on your good news. I remember the round ligament pain with the first pregnancy, but did not seem to have as much with the others. (22w2d, #3)
appt went well. must just be stretching. we saw the baby and the heartbeat. i was so releaved i cried insanely. looks like they are sticking w/ the august 23rd due date :) they gave me my pap yesterday too. thought that was weird...and it hurt!! just glad the lil one is hanging in there.
Has the cramping been constant? Or does it come and go? Also, where do you feel the cramping? If the pains are more on one lower side or the other, most likely these are round ligament pains from your uterus growing (especially if this is your first baby). Cramping across the center or through your uterus may be other issues that should be checked. Good luck at your appt. and let us know what your doctor says.
I also had a lot of cramping and worrying and bleeding today is my sweet 16(wk) I hope all is well please let us know after doc apt , we all have our fingers crossed.
I think you're fine....it's probably just your uturus growing....
It is perfectly normal. I had some cramping too. I even had some bleeding at 8 weeks, I was soooo scared but everything was ok. Here's a link that I found helpful..
