I've been having some mild cramps in my lower abdomen, and my period is due soon. I'm trying to figure out if these could be pregnancy cramps or just regular period ones. How do they typically feel?
I was so terrified when I felt those cramps, thinking the worst! But it's actually just your uterus stretching. If it gets severe, do check with your doctor.
According to my app, mild cramping is just implantation or stretching. If you have severe sharp pain accompanied by any bleeding, you should immediately contact your gynac.
Honestly, it feels like your uterus is trying to remodel itself to make space for a tenant! It's a dull ache, but if it starts hurting like crazy, run to your gynac.
I can only share my own experience—my cramps were very light, almost like a gentle tugging on one side, and they went away when I drank water and rested.
