This is my fifth pregnancy and though my last was only seven years ago, I have forgotten some things. I've had alot of cramping the last few days. Cramping not contracting. Is this normal?
Ya. This is my third in 5 years. Your tendons and muscles are being stretched to capacity. I found with my second one the belly support bands helped. You can usually get them from your doc. A pain to put on n off but helped. Plus some things that feel like cramping are contractions mixed with soar tired muscles. Mostly though just the strain on your body. Take it easy. Use a pillow or a slightly inflated swim ring to support your belly when you sit, sleep. And good luck!
Thanks for the very valuable input. I know that five pregnancies will certainly take a toll on ones body and my age has not been helpful (not so much my age as my lack of exercise the last couple of years). I told my man that I just need to get more rest and that boh of us have been pushing me too hard. I think he is getting it now.
Lol I hope so! Mine gets it sometimes. other times I think he just forgets im preg! It does take a crazy toll on us. Can't begin to know what 5 would be like! But I know being on my third plus having 2 teenage step sons, its exhausting! We just dont get the sleep, or rest we need. So try too take it easy! I'm 25+ weeks and already soar and cramping. Been trying to do too much though. So I'm going to take my own advice and try to rest more! Good luck to us both!!
