Lower abdominal pain second trimester

Currently 16w, had severe cramps last night. Nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. Kept me from sleeping. I had no paracetamol to hand so had to power through. Woke up with milder cramps but still not feeling great. I’ll monitor my pain today and see how I feel. How much pain is still regarded as normal before consulting with dr/midwife? Getting mixed info online 💞

Hi lovely, don’t want to worry you at all but I would definitely be seen today if you can lovely. Severe cramping doesn’t sound normal especially if it’s bad enough to be keeping you up all night. I would definitely give your midwife a message and go in to be checked over x

Hey, I’d agree that you should definitely call up for advice asap - it may well turn out to be nothing, but such significant pain isn’t expected at any point during pregnancy, especially not if it wakes you/stops you from sleeping as that sounds quite severe. Hope everything is okay 💕

I once mentioned to my midwife I’d had cramping and she told me to always get checked! x

Hey, I had severe cramps at around 14 weeks and lasted around half an hour. Apparently it can be linked to your bowel or something. Anyway, definitely book for an appointment for peace of mind if nothing else. I went in for a scan and all looked good and no issues. So could be nothing but you'll only know by having the appt and getting to hear the heartbeat so you know all okay.
