Mama, mild cramping and stretching feelings can be normal at 12 weeks because uterus expanding + round ligament pain starting already. But if the pain is so bad you cannot stand or move much, I personally would monitor carefully and maybe call your gynae just to be safe. For me, round ligament pain felt like sudden sharp pulling when standing up, turning in bed or walking. But severe constant cramps, especially with bleeding, fever, shoulder pain or dizziness, please don’t ignore. Sometimes dehydration and constipation during pregnancy also can cause surprisingly bad cramps. Try resting, drink more water, and avoid sudden movements first. But if it continues or worsens, better get checked for peace of mind.
