cramps or baby move?

[dotty03]

im 20weeks gone now and im starting to get cramps, they can be sudden then disappear and are uncomfortable-

im really dense about the whole pregnancy thing and wanted to know if anything could be wrong or is it just because im supposed to feel the baby move by now...or it might be something else...

im at work alot so its tricky to contact my midwife but my nxt app is in only a couple of weeks away with my 2nd scan on oct 2nd too..so i hope i can find out for definate what goin on inside me then...id appreciate any ideas of what it could be till then to rest my mind. thanks.xxxxx

You will probably find its just your body and muscles moving and changing to take the extra weight over the next few months and things are moving round to make room for baby. Ive had aches throughout mine and it is common. Apparently the more kids you have, the more you get pains. This is my second pregnancy and it certainly seems true!
Not everyone one feels movements at 20 weeks, so dont panic if you havent yet. Although, chances are you have, you just havent realised it. If you really are worried, call your maternity ward after work, they will happy to set your mind at ease for you.

sounds like braxton hicks, i'm sure they can start this early, in which case - totally normal. but as Psychick says, best just ask to put your mind at rest - that's what your midwife is there for! x
