Ali has been cramping all night long. She describes them as bad period cramps.....We are worried sick. Waiting on a call from the Dr. to tell us what to do. Dear God....I pray and pray and pray.
**UPDATE**
Ali was seen yesterday by Dr. G who said cervix was nice and closed and she was measuring between 18-20 weeks...listened to the baby's heartbeat..all was good and very active. So glad that happened yesterday, because it did help to ease some(not all) fears today. Ali had such horrible cramping all night...she couldn't get rest and then she did she dreamed her water broke...great. We called the Dr. this am and since she was just seen yesterday she prescribed bed rest and plenty of fluids and if cramping got worse, call, and she would be seen. Cramps are still there, not worse, just there. Ali has felt the baby move(thank God) so we feel good about that. We did get in touch with the midwife...she told her to drink plenty of cranberry juice and if not better to come in tomorrow for a urine sample. She is resting.....Thank you for all your words of support. We have our formal ultrasound next Wed and no peeking for parts......KJ :)

Thinking good thoughts. Love to all three of you. And lots of warm safe hugs.
My thoughts are with you.
I had these at 13 weeks too. Are you near a health food store? Cramp bark tincture is completely safe throughout pregnancy and stops the cramping.
With my cramping (and tons of bleeding) it turned out to be a pool of blood called a subchorionic hematoma, located near the baby. It's quite frightening, but most of the time turns out just fine.
Take a dropperful of cramp bark if you can, rest, and talk to your baby. You can take the cramp bark up to 3 times a day, and trust me, I used it daily for quite a while.
I hope that your situation turns out like mine has and that all is well. Thinking of you.
Thinking of you guys.
Prayers and thoughts for you both!
I was crampy and even bled at some point through all of my pregnancies. I've heard LOTS AND LOTS of women who have period cramps. I don't know why it's not talked about more often. I was so scared and when I talked about it all of these women came out of the wood work telling me stories of horrible period cramps and spotting and so forth. I would say 90% of the women who had babies told me of these same symptoms.
I will be praying for your comfort and peace of mind for you both.
I hope you get an ultrasound to calm your fears and also to get a peek at that little one's lower section :) you know, by accident.
thinking about you guys. hopefully you can get some cramp bark tincture, that stuff sounds perfect!!
Thinking of you and sending you positive vibes.
Thinking of you....
