Lower stomach pains??

[Bree_29]

im 20 weeks pregnant and I woke up this morning with lower stomach pains that feel like cramps, should I be worried or is this normal? I'm not spotting or anything, just have these cramps and am a bit nauseas. I'm just a worried ftm.

My ob told me yesterday at my appointment that it was round ligament pains and my uterus stretching but nothing to worry about. Thanks (:

Idk if you've heard of "round ligament pain". Its where your ligaments are stretching. It can happen to cause pain when you get up too quickly, cough or sneeze too hard, etc. I'd look it up and see if that's similar to what you experience BC I was worried something was wrong BC I'd be hunched over in pain but my ob said its nothing to worry about. :)

Hope your appointment goes well. :)

Thank you! After I relaxed and slept for a little while it felt better and went away. I have an appointment tomorrow, so I will let the doctors know.

Then just keep an eye on it. Make sure you feel the baby regularly. If it gets too bad, call your doctor! When in doubt, it is always a good thing to call.

They aren't severe and I have been drinking ginger ale. And yes my baby moves all the time and has been moving all morning.

As long as the cramps aren't severe, I wouldn't worry. Sip plenty of water, and try doing some light stretches. Have you been able to feel your baby move yet?
