13 weeks - light period pain cramping

[Newtobecomingamum]

This is my second DC and I think I remember I had these feelings with number 1. Anyone else get these feelings?

It's not painful just a bit uncomfortable. I don't know whether to be worried or if it's just normal

ABSOLUTELY normal :)

If you have any bleeding, spotting or unusually coloured/smelling discharge (sorry for TMI) then give the MW a call, or your local EPU. If not, it'll just be your uterus stretching. 13 weeks is a time of massive growth so your uterus has to make room for the baby and stretching, cramping pains are quite usual!

Hope that helps :)

Thanks Cat for the reassurance. You're right it must be that as I don't have any other symptoms and I sort of remember having this with DC1.

Yep I also had this all the way through the first and into second trimester. Absolutely normal for many women.

I remember this well when I was pregnant with DS. It's just things stretching (unless accompanied by anything more sinister such as brown or red spotting).

I used to find a nice warm bath helped, or a nap/ going to bed.

Hope you feel better soon.

I had this too and found it do distracting I couldn't do anything except have a warm bath or cuddle a hot water bottle.

Thanks everyone for your responses and advice. Very much appreciated x

I remember having this around 14/15 weeks with dd1 and panicking majorly but then my bump properly poked out after that so I reckon it was stretching etc.
