i'm guessing it's not our baby, but our womb expanding?

we'll feel plenty of pain from the baby later on no doubt

Hi ladies, your cramping and pains are all normal. There is quite a bit going on in there as far as ligaments stretching and other changes. Nothing to worry about but it is really interesting to feel how your body changes huh? It will all ease after a while.

Thanks for the reassurance Mango, thats what I really like about this forum, that when you think "oh my god, why did that just happen" theres are about 10+ other ladies that it happened to as well, then you realise, hang on this must be normal.. and its a big comfort..

I think if you look back in the posts just about everyone has complained about cramping in early pregnancy. It's just another wonderful symptom we all get to go through (which scares us like crazy)!

does anyone know if it's true that the cramping usually gets worse when your period would be due?

now that i know, i feel concious of pains in my stomach, kind of dull aching pains which i imagine are normal, they're not overly painful

but last night i was lieing on my belly and had a shooting pain go through my lower left abdomen, it happened twice, but the first time i actually cried out in shock. i haven't had any bleeding or other abnormalities whatsoever, so i'm just wondering if these kind of pains are normal and if i can look forward to more of them?

now that i know i'm pregnant, having the dull pain in my stomach kind of comforts me bc i know that it's a good sign. i've got my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong bc even though it wasn't planned, i want this so much now

listen to me getting all soppy

thanks again guys x

yes they're normal i had them early say about week 8 and then not again until say week 22 and now nothing---doc said it was uterus expanding--- so feel better it shouldnt last long---and of course as long as there's no blood u should b fine
