    Question How much cramping is bad cramping?

    I've had pretty bad cramps, on and off all day, and just beginning to get a bit worried. Keep on doing the undie check at the toilet, but nothing out of the ordinary so far.

    I usually get mild cramps at the intervals where my period would have been, so 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, that kind of thing, but this is quite heavier cramping than my normal stuff.

    How much cramping is bad cramping? It comes and goes in my back too.

    And could this have anything to do with me and DH .. umm... DTD this morning?

    I don't know babe... I had really bad cramps for the last 3 days (I even drank a whole bottle of coke trying to feel Speck move ) ..they seem to have subsided now, but not sure what the go is, I don't remember feeling them quite so badly with Charlotte...

    WRT to DTD.. I think that could have a lot to do with it - (TMI lol..possible AO...) How...strong...was your climax? I suppose that could cause some cramping all over I would think...?

    Depends which one you are talking about

    Well since I've had Eden, they are a LOT stronger these days... but this morning was nothing out of the ordinary - I didn't fall off the bed or anything.. ROFL!!!

    Well I would think that could have something to do with it then...

    ... despite the relative stability of remaining on the bed

    A bit of a TMI comment but whenever i climaxed i would get the worst cramping afterwards.

    I guess as long as the cramping is bearable its alright. If you are unsure then get checked out. But in the mean time have you tried panadol and resting?

    I don't know that there is an easy answer Mel. It could very well have alot to do with DTD, I used to have minor bleeds and/or cramping after DTD. The fact that there is no blood is a good thing so I would not worry to much, you will have more answers within a day or two.

    With my own experiences, if the cramping is worse than you've previously experienced, I would definitely get it checked. Best case scenario, bubs is fine and you're a bit embarrassed from having told the midwife about your sex life - not much against the opposite scenario

    Having said that, hopefully its just from DTD - way to go Mel!
