I’m about 14weeks pregnant and just 2day I began experiencing extreme cramping in my left side of my abdomen. I saw my dr. this morning & everything was fine. The cramps started at about 12pm 2day and only laying down helps a little bit with the pain. is it normal 2 have cramping like this? on a scale from 1-10 my pain is a 7.
I think u have what i have, it sounds like round ligament pain. And it can also happen when the baby is sitting wrong on a nerve that runs from your back to the front of your stomach. This may be it. I hope you start feeling better. Take sum tylenol *if okay by your doc* lay down your left side & get sum rest.

According to the March of Dimes, severe cramping is never a normal sign so you should consult your doctor, which you should probably do again.

i would request a ultra sound… because usually cramping doesnt mean good news

I have the same thing. My doctor said it’s because of the muscles stretching and expanding to accomodate the baby. Laying down is the only thing that helps me too.

Severe cramping is not a good symptom. The best thing for you to do is consult with your obstetrician immediately. Call your doctor’s office. There should always be someone on call to speak with. They will help you figure out what to do.

That happen to me before. Call your doctor first and he will call the hosiptal and let them know you will be coming in.They may need to give you a shot to stop contractions. Call now!
