Cramps at Week 25

Hi mummies! Anyone experiencing cramping/discomfort in abdomen randomly? Got quite a scare when a twisting pain on my bottom right abdomen suddenly started when I woke up morning. Pain came in waves and decreased in intensity, eventually going away in 2 hours… been feeling a bit of sharp pain in my uterus occasionally when I walk too much as well. Thanks!!

Cramping and random sharp pains can be quite common around this stage of pregnancy as your uterus grows and the ligaments and muscles stretch 😊 The sharp pain when walking or changing position especially sounds a bit like round ligament pain, which many mums experience in 2nd tri. Since your pain came in waves and lasted a couple of hours, it's good that it settled on its own. Do keep an eye on it though. If the pain becomes regular, gets stronger, or is accompanied by bleeding, leaking fluid, fever, or reduced baby's movements, do contact your doctor promptly. In the meantime, staying hydrated and taking it a little easier on days when you're feeling more discomfort may help
