Does anybody else get extremely crampy when sleeping/laying down?

Question

Every night I get so crampy when I sleep, almost like period cramps. Why is that?!

Answer

I do , I usually switch from side to side . But while I switch I get pain. Pretty normal

Answer

Yes! I thought this was so weird, glad go know I’m not alone!

Answer

I have the last three nights - so I’m not sure if this is a pattern or a fluke.  This is my 4th pregnancy and the first i recall the night cramping.

Answer

Particularly when I really love from one side to the other or lie on my back.  I’m ok if I sleep on my left side with body pillow between my legs, ankles and under my belly.  I’m up every 2 hours to pee anyway so never stay in same position for long!! I get strong Braxton Hicks in the night. All normal I’m sure. This is my third bub and she’s super low so only relief I get from stabbing pains in my cervix is when I’m horizontal! Oh and I’m nearly 33 weeks😫🐳

Answer

Yup! Big time. Make sure to stay hydrated. We also get an oxytocin surge at night, so this is very common :)
