The pulling/cramping sensations that I feel in my lower abdomen and back really scares me. One of…

The cramping can be from your uterus stretching! Everything is moving around so your baby can grow also when they say drink water seriously drink it. Go down a glass now that's a big reason why pregnant women get cramps from dehydration... Your back is going to hurt for the same reason things are moving so it's adding more pressure on your back :))))

If your not bleeding or on the floor dying in pain your fine hun it's the start and joys of pregnancy lol

@brandi_22, u just put a huge smile on my face thanks alot. My doc also told me to drink more water thanks again hun

No problem! I called my doc about cramps and every time I was told go drink water I felt so water bloated but cramps went away each time :)

@brandi_22, yes imma start drinking more throughout the day. The doc told me I can do benefiber for constipation too, and I know water will help with that too as well. Sorry for the tmi lol

I cramped really badly (especially at night) from the time of my expected period all the way until about 14 weeks. Don't worry hun!!

@tgeezy, thanks girl i keep forgetting my period isn't gonna start bcuz thats exactly what it feels like

I know exactly what you mean! It's scary when it happens. But it's both of our firsts and I was told it's just your uterus shifting and stretching!

There's never TMI when your pregnant

@tgeezy, thanks again @brandi_22 thats true lol
