    Cramps...

    Hi guys,

    I have been having the odd period pain type cramp over the past few weeks.... Any ideas???

    Prob a dumb question... but I am not sure what it is... No bleeding or anything just the cramp... lasts for around 30 - 60 sec

    Thanks for your help

    I had some of these yesterday and my ob said bh. So probably the same for you guys too, especially if you feel tightening at the same time.

    Thanks...

    I thought that BH would be more tightning and sharp (like what I felt when m/cing with 1st pg) you know more like contractions...

    At least it's normal!

    Hey Mel09 - I asked my OB this question she said the pains I had when I m/c the first time are the same as labour pains, BH is more like period pain and if they dont get longer and stronger and closer they are BH.
