Im 12 weeks and keep getting these dull cramps low in my abdomen, kind of like period pain. Not bleeding or anything but it worries me because its my first time. planning to ask my doc but wanted to hear from you all first.
Some mild aches are part of the body adjusting na, my doctor said the same. But anything that feels too strong or unusual, dont sit at home thinking its normal, get it checked. Better safe than sorry.
My MIL kept saying mild pet dard is normal, and mostly she was right about the small aches. But i still always told my gynac about anything sharp. Elders mean well but for strong pain trust the doctor.
I felt this dull achy pain in my lower belly early on and got so worried. My gynac explained it was the ligaments stretching. The mild stuff calmed me down once she explained, but i always called her if it felt sharp.
Please be careful with abdominal pain. Light pulling is usually fine, but i learnt the hard way not to ignore strong pain. If its intense or comes with bleeding, dizziness or fever, get to your doctor without waiting.
Mild abdominal pain from stretching and gas is very normal, i had it in both. But severe, sharp, or one sided pain, or pain with bleeding or fever, is a no, call your doctor immediately for that.
