9w1d and cramping pain

I've started getting period like cramping pain in my lower abdomen. However, it only happens when I stand up. If I sit or lie down it goes completely.

Could this be something as simple as a pulled muscle? Or could it be the early signs of a miscarriage? Does the cramping you get with miscarriage change depending on the position you're in?

Is cramping normal at 9 weeks? Could it be stretching pain?

It's probably just stretching pain. Mine goes when I sit/lie down. But as soon as I get up, it rears it's ugly head. Also find it's worse when I sneeze, cough or blow my nose. I just have a warm bath n get OH to rub my belly/back for a bit and it eases. If it's really bad I take a couple of paracetamol and put a hot water bottle on.

Congrats and I hope this helps.

Xx

That does help to hear, thank you monkeybear.

Gives me some hope that something is still growing inside of there!!

Ok that's good to hear buggerlugs. I'm sorry to hear about the miscarriages though. (What's a CP?)

I'm so paranoid about having a missed miscarriage.

Come on 12 week scan!!!!

I had an early scan at 6 weeks, saw a heart beat. But 3 weeks has passed since then and the doubt has started creeping in. I only need to wait 3 weeks and I'll have the 12 week scan... Just trying not to over analyse every symptom till then!
