Cramps

Hey ladies,

have had the most awful sleep lastnight!

was awake for 2hours at one stage because my whole belly keeps cramping, like a period cramp but higher, its like its just under my ribs or at the very top of my belly, considering im only 16weeks tomorrow and i have no bump im just wonderingif this is normal?
Ive had no bleeding or anything just these cramps which went all night and made it really difficult to sleep.

any suggestions on what they are and how i make them go away???

oh cool, thanks heaps, im not worried about them because the arent strong or anything just really really annoying, especially at 2.30am.
i thought it might be something like that, maybe ill start getting a bump soon :D

Was it one long cramp or every now and then? Could it be brackton hicks? I had them from very early on with Quinn.

i got the same thing and being my second and not experiencing it with my first i freaked out and called my mw. she said it was jsut stretching etc. but if you are worried no harm in calling your mw for reassurance

Hi ladies!

Have just spoken with mw and she has put my mind at ease! thinks its just everything stretching and growing, doesnt think its anything to worry about, thinks that its just my body accomodating my "growing uterus" so possibly pushing everything up and starting to squash.

Said i may notice a bump forming soon!!!

thanks heaps for all the advice
am off to put a wheat bag around my belly kebakat!

thanks :D:D

That's great news! You must have a really toned tummy pre-pregnancy did you!!! I have a friend who didnt show for ages as her tum was so toned before hand!~

That's okay MB I didn't show with my first one until about 20 weeks, I think it was the same for #2 (who was a pound heavier!) and it was a bit earlier with #3 but I can't remember. Still in the second trimester though.
