    is this normal?

    i keep feeling like af is here or on the way ..
    also been very crampy today but would be on cd 40 if i hadnt gotten a positive, i dont know if its stretching or because i had a c/s very confused and very scared due to the amount of miscarriages we have had

    At 1st thought I'd say yep, normal stretching pain but you know, It wouldn't hurt checking in with your doc just to make sure even if it's only to put your mind at ease. You can even go for a dating scan so you can see bub and know everything is ok. HTH. I got heaps of this pain with DD but not so much this time round. And yeah, it worried me every time!

    I am in the same boat MrsS. Just over 6wks (CD48) now and my last 3 pregnancies have ended in m/c or ectopic pregnancy and I feel as if AF is here and have been toilet checking every 30minutes only to find clear cm (Thank God) Some days I feel good and other days like today I feel very AF-ie and as if its about to start the bleeding any minute. I think its quite normal but does nothing to help the anxiety.

    I'll add you and your bub to my sticky vibe prayers.

    hard to say, but i've had that feeling nearly the entire pregnancy so far. But it still is a horrible feeling. Hope all is ok and it's just stretching.

    I was crampy for the first few weeks, kept thinking AF was coming, never did & now I'm nearly 6 months.
    Have had crampy feelings each time I've been preg, app it's your uterus stretching, they felt like period cramps, not sure if this helps.
    Good luck Hun hope all goes well

    thank goodness it seems to be normal! I have just found out from my fertility clinic today that I have my long awaited BFP. I have been cramping on and off for the last 4 days and was worried about it and even after the phonecall this afternoon I have been worried, so thanks ladies! I will keep an eye on it though and follow up with the FC if it keeps going.

    I'm still getting cramping & I'm 10wks now lol
    I've found that my cramping gets worse if I don't drink enough fluids, so try to drink a bit more water if you can as well and see if that helps

    Congrats to you all on your BFP's too!
