Holy moly! Bad cramps

I have only had mild cramping here and there. But I just took a nap before and I woke up from cramping so bad. I actually ran to the bathroom to see if I was bleeding. I'm not, thank god.

I was just at my ob's yesterday and everything was fine. We saw the 2 little peanuts dancing away. I am 9w2d today. I'm just really hoping everything's ok.

I know it can be round ligament pain. I just never felt anything this intense. Ouch! I'm trying to drink some water to see if that helps. Has this happened to anyone else?

Re: Holy moly! Bad cramps

When I hit 14 weeks I had a few awful days with cramping, shooting pain and pressure. I called my OB and spoke to a Nurse who said it sounds like Round Ligament Pain.

She said as long as it doesn't feel like they're going to fall out, I should be fine but I could come into the office for a check.

It got better after about a day and a half, and now its only occasional at almost 16 weeks.

Lots of rest with my feet up helped a bit.

Hope you feel better!!!

Re: Holy moly! Bad cramps

I had cramping my entire pregnancy....even some spotting here and there. I was actually told that as long as it doesnt feel like period cramps I was fine BUT mine ALWAYS felt like period cramps. Needless to say I put in a lot of calls to my OB! I am sure you are fine but it couldnt hurt just to give them a ring and ask. Hope all is well!

I went to Labor and Delivery the other day, because I had such severe cramps. I was extremely dehydrated, so I was having BH contractions and he said I definitely had some round ligament pain. Drink, Drink, Drink!!! My doctor said at least 2 liters per day. Feel better.

Thanks ladies. Yes, I think I was just very dehydydrated. I drank a huge glass of water. Then we went out to dinner with my parents and I swear I had like 10 lemonades. By the time we got to dinner, the cramps had passed.

I feel like myself again. I have to remember to drink all day. I know I definitely don't drink enough.
