Cramping

[misskatie90]

Hey everyone
I am 17 weeks pregnant, today I have started getting cramping in my lower stomach, is this normal? It's been happening on and of for the last few hours. Not massively painful perhaps a 5 on a 1-10 scale. I'm also constipated so don't know if it's this. I worry about every ache and pain, could really do with some advice. Thank you

I’ve just done a similar post although I’m 5 weeks behind you. I’ve got cramping too. Again nothing really painful and comes and goes occasionally. I’m putting it down to body stretching and baby growing. X

@misskatie90 constipation gives an awful lot of abdominal pain too. So stock up on fruits & fluids

I had almost constant cramps between 16 and 19 weeks and was told it was round ligament pains.
I'm now 21+2 and alls well and pains have definitely eased so I think she was maybe having having growth spurt.
