Pains in stomach

Ok so the other night I woke up because I was getting what felt like cramps from a period. They werent too bad but bad enough they woke me up. Then the next day my belly felt sore kind of like I pulled a muscle in it. Then this morning I woke up and couldnt stand up straight because it felt like it was pulling a muscle. All this started after I had my 20wk u/s done. Could it just be round ligament pain or could something be wrong.

I have had cramps on and off during the 4 months and I have asked my doctor about it. She said that if it isn't accompanied by bleeding and if the pain is not severe or intense then you shouldn't worry too much about it. I would check with your doctor to be sure.

could be syatica (sorry about the spelling) its where your baby is on a nerve aand can cause cramping or muscle spazams. i get them all the time. it could also be your stomach muscles streching which is normal. as your body is growing your muscles do strech or can tear.

always remember if in doubt ask your midwife or doctor.
GOOD LUCK with your pregnancy and i hope all goes well for you

I had the exact thing happen to me with both of my pregnancies (never had anything to do with US). From what the Dr. said, it was just my ligaments stretching, and nothing to worry about. Hope that helps!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
