21 weeks. cramping...sorta like menstrual cramps?

Question

Is that normal? My next visit is on Thursday its an ultrasound.

The cramps feel like the ones you get when you know you're about to start your period. My mother in law told me it was "pressure cramps" .

They aren't constant or anything...just annoying

Answer 1

Go to the hospital and get it checked out.  It could be pressure cramps or a sign of much worse.

Good luck!

Answer 2

it may be normal for some but it may not be normal for you. if it continue the best thing to do call your doctor or go the ER. There's a say " you can't never be too cautions

Answer 4

I think it is normal.  Same thing I had when I was pregnant with my 2nd baby.  I felt cramps and pressure down there all the time.  So don't worry everything will be fine.  Good Luck and Gongrats on your pregnancy.

Answer 5

It's normal!  :)

Answer 6

You should go to the doctor :) It sounds like normal pains with stretching of the uterus etc.... but if ur worried about anything I would go speak to ur mid-wife.  My mid-wife told me to call for anything no matter how trivial as they would much rather check me out and send me away reassured and okay than not bothering and something serious happening :)

Answer 7

ya thats normal...trust me, you'll know when you're having real contractions!!!

Answer 8

I'm 27 weeks, but I remember having those kinds of cramps a few weeks ago. I know, they're pretty annoying. But it's normal :) I had them on and off for maybe a week or two and then they stopped. It's probably your round ligament stretching and your muscles seperating in your abdomen. I hope they stop soon for you! Good luck :)

Get your *** to the doctor. It's either something extremely serious, or nothing to worry about. It would be MUCH better for you to be told "Oh, it's nothing." than "If only you would have came in earlier."
