Cramps that are in your lower back by your tailbone that wraps around to the pelvic area.. trapped gas or uterus stretching?

Question

I woke up at midnight with this weird cramping/pain (not sharp pains). It felt like I had to poop really bad but I tried and couldn’t go (but did have some gas which relieved the cramps somewhat). I took some tums and it eventually went away. I’m 6w4d.

Answer

It's your hips. Your body releases a hormone called relaxin when pregnant. It makes your joints all loosey goosey. This allows for much more movement in those joints causing pain. 
There is also two ligaments that hold the uterus on either side and as you grow they stretch.  They are more of a frontal ache.
