OMG Lucyfur!!!! Congrats hun xxxx so happy for you
Ladies, I hope you don't mind if I ask a question... I tried asking on the preg chat but they're not very responsive... I have quite noticeable cramps in both my sides and uterus on and off for 2 weeks now.. I looked online which I honestly wish I hadn't as there is so much it could be! It's not severe by any indication it is however annoying and noticeable! I don't know if I should be worried as it was Alot worse last week & seems to have gotten to a steady stage where it's neither getting worse or better.. I'm staying positive but at the same time so nervous as per prev preg experiences & the worry of etopic
anyone ever heard of this happening?
I hope I find you all well and having a great Easter break xxx
Tigeress, it's a good sign if the cramps are easing. As you said, it could be a sign of ectopic...but I think if it was that, the cramps wouldn't be easing? Could it be implantation cramping? I really don't know....I would make a doctors appointment hon, just to put your mind at ease xx0 -

What i did learn at that time was that cramps (just not sever ones!!) are very common and normal during early pregnancy, they are just a sign of the uterus wall stretching and growing!!:):) Please try not to worry, if they get severe or if you get any spotting at all do go to the doctor or to the early pregnancy unit in your hospital just to be on the safe side!!
You can spend so much time worrying, and with previous bad experience i imagine its hard not to, but what your lovely little baby needs now is positivity, so unless your body gives you more signs that something is seriously wrong then just try your best not to worry!
Never feel bad about asking questions in here now just because you are pregnant, we are all experts at early pregnancy and are just so delighted to know your journey and share in your good news that we will always be happy to help if we can at all!!:D
Thanks so much DL you are so right! I did read on 1 site what you said about the wall growing.. I hope it's that & am convincing myself of it! I feel so different this time round & hoping it's all good! I'm getting evening sickness which I didn't get stall last time! The cramps are very tolerable & I can defo sleep through them! They're hard to explain.. I might give the hospital a call on Tues to see what they say instead of my Doc for extra reassurance.. But you've eased my mind thanks so much for that xx 0 -

It's very normal to cramp in early pregnancy, usually one sided but can be both. So long as they are not severe or accompanied with any bleeding then you should try not to worry. Even though your pregnancy is very early on, there is a lot of stretching and growing happening on the uterus and the round ligaments (the round ligaments stretching later in the pregnancy can be REALLY sore!) There is also alot of burrowing into your uterine wall which I can only imagine would contribute to the discomfort, and also there is a huge increase in blood supply to the area! So all in all, there is ALOT going on in a vert compact little space!
Try not to worry, relax and enjoy this special time. If you feel positive about this pregnancy, then I believe that it will be fine. I'm a strong believer in womens instincts, so you are probably positive for a reason
When is your due date? Its probably around my little girls birthday? (January)0 -
Thanks CCL very glad to hear! So glad I have you guys! Undone know what I'd do without ya you & DL have put my at ease
the Doc didn't say my due date.. He wreckens I'm 5 weeks gone guessing from my last period, however I got positive ovulation on the sticks on 5th & 6th of theis month.. Which I'm guessing 5th Jan.. Although I'm reading 'what to expect when you're expecting' the new edition (4) and she says you count 2 weeks before you concise as part of your 40 weeks.. Onlynoart way through so hoping it's explained lol! I'm going with 3 weeks but if the doc &
Book are right it's 5 weeks..

Eek!!! That threw me too on the clear blue. It's a conception indicator, so you can add another couple 'o weeks on to what it says:)
If all goes to plan, my due date is the 30th Dec:cool:0 -

We'll be so close together I might call Portlaoise on Tues & see if I can get an early scan! They told me they'd do one early because of the M/C s..
I don't want to seem overly hopeful but are you sure I'm so far along? I'm so happy lol0 -

Even if one of the lines is fainter than the other? I didn't test using the first urine sample and I had had lots of water and tea before I tested.....I'm hoping thats why the line was fainter?0 -
