18Wks Pregnant & having cramps???
by Betsy34, Apr 30, 2008 01:31AM
I am having "period-like" cramping in my lower abdomen....Has anyone ever experienced this? I have been having it for 2 days now off and on, however, for some reason when I lay on my sides, it gets worse. I guess thats the reason it is now 1:30am and I am writing to all of you. I'm hoping everything is ok....

I had EXACTLY the same thing around that time (im 22weeks now). I explained it to my doctor and he said it can be caused by stretching of the uterus and/or early braxton hicks. He didnt bat and eyelash so im sure it mst be completely normal. I totally worried too! Hopefully it should go away soon. Just mention it to your doctor next time you see him.
