Cramps when active?

Between yesterday and today (and even very early on in the pregnancy, actually) I noticed I get a cramp-like feeling in my abdomen when I'm "active" more than just doing normal activity. So, like on the eliptical, or walking home from the train yesterday, or today, walking around / being on my feet at work more than usual, I get a cramp-like feeling. I make sure I'm drinking water, and usually that helps, as does sitting or going to the bathroom. Is this normal? Anyone else experience this? I have my 6 month appointment with the dr tomorrow, so I will mention it then, but wondered if I should be worried before then! TIA!

Cramps when active?

could be round ligament pain. is it on the side or all over your belly?

Re: Cramps when active?

It's on the side. Is that what round ligament pain feels like?

Cramps when active?

yeah...round ligament pain can be a cramp or a sharp pain. if i walk too much i get it. once i stop and relax it goes away.

Re: Cramps when active?

definitely sounds like round ligament pain, just talked to the nurse who said the same thing.

It's round ligament pain. You often get it when you move a muscle too quickly, stand up too fast, etc. It's normal. Everything is stretching and supporting more weight. Just try to slow down a little to be more comfortable.
