Cramps 15 weeks

[Rainbowfairy9]

Hi i am currently 15weeks and 6 days and for the last few days I have had period like cramps on and off like pwriod is just beginning throughout the day and night rang assessment unit in early hours who said could just be stretching or have an irritated uterus and to take some paracetamol and call back if it continues or gets worse. It's continued again on/off all day and have rang again and they said to have a bath and take some more paracetamol and ring back in an hour. Anyone know what it could be or had similar as just worrying whether baby is ok or not. I don't remember having cramps like this with my first pregnancy

OP did you by any chance have a c-section with your first?
I ask because I did and it must have been around the 15 week mark I remember calling my midwife and telling her I was getting terrible cramps like period pain cramps and she mentioned that the scar tissue from the c-section, when stretched during a subsequent pregnancy, can cause that feeling?
Anyway if it carries on just head up there and get yourself checked.

Buddyelf yes I did have a csection before, strange that no one has mentioned that before. How long did the cramps last for if you don't mind me asking?

Hi! I’m the same gestation and I’ve been having similar - Braxton hicks type cramping. Midwife said pretty much the same to me as they’ve said to you.

Sorry that wasn’t actually much help was it!....be pushy with them, if you feel like you want to be seen, be seen. Deffo.

Sorry OP I couldn’t say, baby causing the cramps is now 5 so it was a while ago now. How you feeling? Are you still cramping? Do get check though if you are

How are you OP?

Still getting the cramps although not as intense and they aren't lasting as long now and onky having one or two episodes a day. Ending up going in for checking on Thursday and they checked the heartbeat and did an internal to check everything was as it should be and it was. Midwife said it could just be stretching and could just last a few days or could get them throughout my pregnancy (I hope they don't continue all the way through. Thanks for asking though

Would it be around the time you're period wold be due? I've had this the last 2 months when I would normally get my period but baby absolutely fine xx
