    Nai, I think you've also made a point. My cramps were partially due to gas. I was so bloated and felt awful! But after the heat pad, I felt much better not to mention a bubble bath!Thank you.

    I can sympathise Carmen - my bloating and gas for the first 8-9 weeks was so painful!! It seems to have settled down now though - thank goodness. So there is light at the end of the tunnel (no pun intended )

    Re: cramps

    Yup, I hear you sister. I am 7 weeks (or possibly less, due to my irregular cycles I will have to wait until first scan to know!) and the cramps are getting less now. Even though I know they are just the uterus stretching, it still freaks me out! My GP said that when she got them with her first, none of her medical textbooks even mentioned it, she eventually found it in a Women's Weekly preggers guide lol! And as the other posts say, sometimes it is food-related too. Good luck, and try not to stress!

    Wind pain, uterus stretching = these pain are totally freaky. Aside from stressing out, I think the best is to worry less (my gosh, easier said than done!) It's strange how medical books don't mention about these pain. Unfortunately, our worries don't seem to go away until we meet our little one during the scan. While we all experience these cramps, let us enjoy our pregnancy as time will go by fast!!! to all those who are experiencing these irritable cramps.

    Hi
    I have been experiencing cramping each day, and none of the books mention this. Although my FS reassured me.
