Cramps question...

How can you tell when it's cramps cramps or when it's gas cramps?

Re: Cramps question...

Anyone??

Re: Cramps question...

LMAO! Because I was thinking this early today.

my stomach was killing me, and I started getting so scared....well I stood up to walk it off and boy did the gas come out and I felt better within minutes.

My answer then is...you DONT know...Which sucks.

BUt for you I can say at this stage if you were feeling cramps with your uterus so big you would FEEL them, they would be much worse then any AF cramps.

Re: Cramps question...

I was thinking about it today... my choices were is it gas or round ligament pain? I think it might have been a little bit of both... I dont think there is a way to know for sure

Re: Cramps question...

Thanks girls. I guess I knew there wouldn't be a definite answer.

It doesn't feel like AF, but it's all around my belly. And it's been all day. It's making me crazy. But I feel silly calling the doc if it winds up being gas.

There's no bleeding and the heartbeat is good, so I guess I should stop fretting.

I'm glad I'm not the only one constantly playing "What's that Cramp?" Round ligament, gas or uterus??

Re: Cramps question...

I've been having a lot of stomach aches lately... like pains here and there, achyness in lower abdomen... I think its just expansion of the uterus and everything growing and stretching.

Re: Cramps question...

i was wondering the same thing this week... i was feeling pretty bad... but it was def gas... i wondered if this hurts... what the hell are contractions going to be like
