I have placenta previa, and today I am having some cramping. It's not the normal ligament stretching cramps. But real cramps that are starting to worry me. Nothing severe, but sortof alarming considering I have this condition. Is cramping normal with this condition? I thought bleeding was really the only symptom, so I'm confused.

Oh, and I'm 20 weeks, so I don't think it could be early labor or anything.

It is probably braxton hicks...But I don't know much about plecenta previa......I got menstrual like cramps throughout almost my whole pregnancy....and then braxton hicks were added to the pile when I was around 25 weeks! =(

Yikes.... 25 weeks? Can BH contractions bring on real ones, or do they continue to be harmless?

As far as I know they are harmless...just annoying and painful! I started having them at 25 weeks and Tasia was born 9 days late! haha

Glad we can laugh about it! :o) I think I put you on the receiving end of some of my frustration toward Lin and her inability to read my posts. My bad! ;o)

Thanks Rhonda. I did go ahead and call my doctor yesterday afternoon, basically to report it. She didn't act alarmed since I'm not spotting or anything, so I feel a little better about it. I figure if it was a concern she would have told me to come in. Now that you say that about yours feeling like period cramps, that is sortof what mine feel like, too. Thanks again!

I also have placenta previa- it is actually normal to have cramps with this. I have them alot also.
This is another reason why they say you cannot have s_x, because that not only can cause bleeding but also very bad cramps.
