Cramps - advice please

[Angel786]

This is my second pg. Am 10 ½ weeks and last night had really bad cramps for 10 mins at 1am. Felt like contractions. No blood. Could it have been gas or something or do you think it could be something to do with the baby? It was v different to the ligament stretching cramps I had with the first pg. Midwife at booking in appointment said if any bleeding call hospital immediately but no blood. Scan is next week anyway, on Monday.

Has anyone had anything similar?

I get bad cramps when I need to go no.2 (sorry, can't help but snigger slightly at saying that but am learning rapidly with pregnancy nothing is private anymore!). I would see if you can go to your nearest EPU for an earlier scan or at least speak to a midwife there. It's probably nothing but can imagine it is worrying. Good luck x

Thanks stargazer I think it was overeating / gas / constipation. V painful but haven't had it since so fingers x'd

Make sure you drink enough - I get cramp if I'm dehydrated.

Congrats on the pregnancy!

I get cramps all the time - well not ALL the time but a few times a week at least. I'm now 30 weeks and it has been going on the whole time. I was worried to start with but MW said some people just get that and it's growing cramps. I still mention it at almost every visit tho. Pregnancy is full of little pains and constant worries :(

congrats and good luck.

Thx mistress and lil think I was worried as I didn't get it last time, just need to stop comparing this pregnancy to the last!
