Intense cramping after small breakfast?

So, this is pretty common. I dont over eat so I know the cramps arent from that! I also dont eat to fast. I just casually snack and then as soon as I'm done I'm doubled over in cramps! I'm almost 28 weeks and this has been pretty common throughout my pregnancy! Anyone know whats causing this? I dont see it as a serious issue, but just kinda wanna know whats going on!

Thanks you :D

    Never mind! I couldnt find it online for the life of me but as soon as I post this I find it!

    You can also get stomach cramps after eating as a result of the decreased space available in your abdominal cavity for your stomach. Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel, in their book "What To Expect When You're Expecting," note that particularly late in the second and through the third trimester, the space available for your body organs decreases dramatically. What would normally be a reasonably-sized meal all of a sudden becomes far too much to put in your stomach, given limited space, and can cause stomach upset

    @thetrondsons1st The site online said that its from the baby getting so big that theres not a whole lot of room in out stomach and normal sized meals become to much for our stomach to handle, which results in cramping and even nausea :) I'm glad I'm not the only one who was confused!
