i know cramps are normal during pregnancy and have had them throughout. but did your cramps (the ones that feel like menstrual cramps) ever change? like normally they're in the lower abdomen area-but idk it seems to me that later in pregnancy when your uterus is like quadruple it's normal size that you would feel cramps like all around you know what i'm saying? did your cramps stay pretty localized in the lower abdomen like normal?
I thought the same thing, that it wouldn't make sense for my "period-like" cramps to still be in my lower abdomen where my uterus used to be, but it still feels the same! I am due in 3 days, so my uterus is all the way up in my lungs, but I still feel the period like cramping down in my lower abdomen! I can't explain it. I don't know if it's that it is actually only cramping down there, or if I am just so used to uterine cramping being down there that my body doesn't notice how big my uterus is, if that makes sense…
So yes, they still feel exactly the same for me! Weird!

I didn't notice any with my daughter until the round ligament pains at around 20 weeks, but this time yes, I have low menstrual-type cramps often. I get a bit freaked out since I miscarried last fall, but I am staying positive and telling myself all will be well this time.
Good luck to you!
