cramping
Like CY I have been cramping a lot this pregnancy, I remember it happening
last time, but definitely not as much. This weekend it got much worse, eventually I decided I had better get checked by the weekend doctor, he was able to confirm that it was very unlikely to be ectopic and there was certainly no reason to act with any urgency. We discussed pain relief options as by this stage things were very uncomfortable and in the end decided a mild tranquilliser might help me get some sleep and be less risky than a stronger painkiller than paracetamol which hadn't really helped. I went to see my own doctor this morning, he was very reassuring, he's quite old fashioned, so I was subjected to an internal examination, which was not at all uncomfortable and confirmed the pregnancy was in the correct place and removed any need for a scan which I was pleased about. My doctors theory is that my uterus is just not chuffed that something is growing inside it, unfortunately this probably means a similar experience to last time is ahead, which could be a struggle with a toddler. The thing that really helped last time was drinking rasberry leaf tea, I had a cup yesterday, but it didn't seem to have any effect at all. |

That's a good idea - I will try that. I have certainly noticed that I cramp
more when my DD nurses, which makes sense. I have cut way back on the nursing and that seems to have relieved it a bit though I am still very crampy. Glad everything is OK with you too...

I am still quite crampy at 25 weeks. Early on it was annoying and kind of
bothersome to me. Some things that helped was to drink a lot of water. Dehydrated muscles cramp. Also be sure to keep the bladder empty. Give your body some rest time off your feet. I drink Pregnancy Tea which helps me sleep and keeps the cramping a bit at bay. Warmly, Kelly #4 2/12/05 "Anne Rogers" wrote in message ...
