    Is it Normal?

    Hi Ladies,

    I'm 15 weeks and 2 days with my first, I'm feeling a lots of tightness/light crampiness across my lower tummy, its only been the last 4 or so days... I M/c in May this year so I'm a little nervous.
    Has anyone else felt this?
    Thanks
    Jo xx

    I think this is normal. It could be stretching of your uterus causing the tightness. As long as there is no bleeding it should be ok

    I was going to say the same thing, esp with regards to bleeding - with the first pregnancy your body has to do a lot of new things and the stretching/slight crampiness can last a while.

    You could mention it to your caregiver next time you have an appointment.

    I remember having feelings like that up until around 14-16 weeks. Take it easy and make sure you get plenty of rest. Wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy.

    Hi Ladies,

    Thanks for your help and well wishes.
    Delph, this morning its seems ok, no cramping and no bleeding at all so I'm hoping all is going ok, I'll speak to my Dr when I see her late next week.
    Thanks for you help xx

    Hey Jo,

    I second everyone on here... I've had cramping on and off since about 5 weeks. No bleeding and everything is OK. I understand your anxiety, I had a m/c in July at 6wks6days, it's hard not to stress, esp if this is your first (this is my first too!).

    GL! I look forward to sharing this journey with you! x

    I've had cramps on and off my WHOLE pregnancy!
    Midwife says it's fine.
    I know he/she has gotta make some room in there.
