Is it normal to be cramping a lot at 16 weeks? I don't remember this with my other pregnancies

I'm wondering the same thing. i feel my baby moving but I've been cramping for a week now. i have a doctors appointment on Wednesday I plan to ask my doctor

I have been for about two weeks. I was seen by the midwives. They took urine sample, and swab. Listen to baby heart beat and sent me on my way. It just feels like I'm having bad period cramps. I'm wondering if it's from stress, or over doing it?

Hope all is well with both of us.

You will cramp because your uterus is stretching a lot as long as it's not worse then your cramps when you are on your period and your not bleeding at all you should be okay that's what my doctor told me when I asked

Are you sure it's cramping? Could be ligament strain?

yes. just make sure you aren't feeling contractions. cramps are almost always just growing pains and round ligament pain. some Tylenol is safe and can help.

@tiny1, thank you! It's been 6 yrs since the last time was pregnant lol. That's probably all it is.

@cassibrewer, I'm not sure what it is?

Oh yeah I wouldn't worry but your next appointment definitely ask it can never hurt to ask

@rainbowbaby2016, I hope that's all it is.

you aren't supposed to get contractions (or braxton hicks) that early. so watch out for that. I lost my son Noah last year at 16 weeks because of early labor. be careful.

Ok thank u. I'm so sorry for your loss.
