Hi girlies,
I am 20 weeks along and so far everything has been going well. Last night I started getting some minor cramping in my belly. I didn't think anything of it, as I assumed it was just things stretching etc. By the end of the evening the pain was crippling and the only way I could handle it was to lay down with my legs elevated. I ended up going to bed, because I couldn't handle it anymore and wanted sleep to put me out of misery!
I have woken up this morning and do feel slightly better, however I still have a very tender belly and a pain on the right hand side (although far less intense than last night).
I am trying to be reasonable, but am actually shit scared but I am beginning to get myself a bit worked up about it all. I am planning on calling my doctor this morning and running the situation past him to see if I need to go and see him. This is my first, so I really have no idea what pain is considered normal, and don't want to be that woman who got all worked up about a harmless cramp!
Do you think this sounds normal?
