WWYD Bad Cramping

[steph]

I'm having some pretty bad cramps. Like I'm sweating and want to ball up on the floor cramps. Call right? I'm 8w6d. No spotting or anything.

[misshart00]

I would call. I asked my doc about bad cramps last time I was there and she checked and said I was having contractions. She said it's not a problem, my uterus is just freaking out like "didn't we just do this?!"

[hrushka]

I'd call. Hope it stops soon.

steph I would vote for calling, it's better to be safe than sorry!

[gratefulgirl]

I'd call. Even if it's something like intestinal maybe they can offer you relief.

[misshart00]

Also, make sure you've pooped recently. That's the main factor from most of my "I don't want to move" cramps.

[musicgirl]

Always call if you are concerned. Hoping for a good update soon!

[steph]

No pooping problems w this pregnancy so far thank god.

Called and left a voicemail. I'm about to set my work status to do not disturb and crawl into bed.

Any chance you are dehydrated? I'd drink something and rest while you wait for their response.

[jamjoyful]

I hope they call back soon. Drink lots of water and try to relax. Deep breaths!

Glad you're putting your feet up. Hope the doctor calls back soon. I had severe cramps early, just after 5 weeks, and they scared me to death. The doctor brought me in for a scan, and everything was fine. I had a harmless cyst that was rubbing against my uterus. FX it's nothing!

[steph]

Drinking more water now! I don't think I'm dehydrated. I drink a good amount of lemon water. I feel like it keeps the nausea down a bit.

[bocaburger]

I hope you hear back soon and that everythjng is ok!

[ameliabird]

I hope that you get a call back soon and that you feel better. FX that everything is okay, steph.

They called me back. Told me to rest and to take some Tylenol. They said to keep a close eye out for spotting, but if I'm not spotting, don't freak out. They said first trimester cramping isn't super uncommon. I didn't have this at all last time, but she reiterated the fact that each pregnancy can be very different.

I hope it stops and you feel better soon!

[steph]

Thanks everyone!

Glad your able to rest and they aren't worried. I had bad cramping early on and found I have a cyst in my ovary with the cl so my ovary is being stretched. Have you had a us yet? I identified with the curling up in a ball feeling

Yay Keep drinking that water too. I hope you feel better with some rest.

[Rama]

Feel better soon, steph!

[steph]

Took a nap, feeling much better. Still a bit rough, but so much better! Thanks everyone

I'm glad the cramps have settled down, hopefully they don't come back! That must have been scary, I'm sorry it happened

[steph]

I was washing dishes and they came back hard, didn't last long though.

Maybe I should just not wash dishes. Lol

Hang in there!!
