Hi everyone. I've been cramping quite a bit this last week or 2 and was just wondering if it's normal. I've read up on it online and everywhere I've read says light/mild cramping is normal but what if it's more than that? It's not excruciating but it's more than mild with the occasional sharp twinges. I've needed to take paracetamol a few times and that has usually cleared it up.
Ive had 2 miscarriages previously and had a scare last week so I'm quite worried.
Has anyone else experienced this and had a normal healthy pregnancy? I just really need know that other women have been through this in early pregnancy so that I can stop stressing about it. Btw, I've mentioned the on/off pain to the doctors when I was in the hospital and all they did was give me paracetamol. Appreciate any responses 😙 Thanks
I had quite a lot of cramping in early pregnancy, sometimes really sharp twinges and sometimes just sore. It's just round ligament pain as far as I'm aware, and paracetamol & a warm bath is a good way to help you relax. Try not to stress Hun, being relaxed is so important x
Before I fell pregnant I had a chemical pregnancy (miscarriage), and soon after I fell pregnant again. For me I noticed cramping quite intense lasting 5 mins every 2 weeks or so it's when the uterus stretches. I just began to recognise them and breathed my way through it. It can be so uncomfortable but it did go. I usually did something to distract me like visualise scenery and breathing inhale/exhale X X
@ttcrainbowbaby, it's up to you hun if it does make u feel better and all take it. i do know it's alright to take it in pregnancy but i'm trying to go all organic xx
@apunini I was initially only taking one paracetamol until the gynae doctor at the hospital assured me that taking paracetamol was not a problem at all I do take two now. Not often. Maybe every other day ish? As and when I need it. It is nice to hear that I'm not alone though. Thanks for responding @littleelf85

I have had some awful cramping hun. Sometimes worse than my period was but I'm now 19+5 and perfectly healthy. When I asked my mw about it she said as long as there is no blood not to worry as everybody suffers different x
