For the last 2 days or so I've been cramping like crazy. I know the heat isn't helping. I'm not having any bleeding and while i've noticed that baby's activity has decreased a little bit he is still moving around a little during his normal times. I'm trying to drink more water also, but nothing seems to be helping! I know this is a big time for some growth spurts for little man, but I thought that would make him move MORE? or am I wrong?

    Possibly Braxton Hicks? I didn't have them at all with my first but have them this time and they feel a bit crampy. I'd call your doc or midwife though and tell them you're concerned. A quick check over would put your mind at ease and it's always better to be safe.

    So many things can cause cramping in pregnancy and most are normal, but I totally understand your concern. I had some a couple weeks ago and called the doc anyway. There is no price for peace of mind, so if it keeps up you may want to call them or get it checked out. TMI, but mine was because I had not gone to the bathroom in a couple of days, but had not realized it yet.

    I hope it goes away for you soon! Pregnancy is full of aches and pains... so annoying!

    This is me. I'm not as far a long as you, but the minute I'm a bit stopped up I get terrible cramps. Hope that the doctor says everything is normal lots of prayers.

    Thanks ladies, I'm about to make a very long drive tomorrow to go home on leave to visit family. I'll definitely be calling today to make sure I'm still good to go! I've been very fortunate as far as constipation. In my first tri I had about a week and a half where I didn't go and it was just awful but my diet seems to support me pretty well for now. I've noticed an increase in gas ( gross! ) so i'm hoping it's just my body adjusting. I'm starting to feel so large and uncomfortable! My boobs especially are just so big and I hate it. Tell me how I went from a 34c to a 36E and my milk hasn't even come in! I'm mortified.
