Any help?

Question

I am 6 weeks today. At 5w4d I start getting lower abdomen cramping with some left side cramping. It keeps me up at night. My left leg feels numb. Went to the dr and have a UTI. Is the cramping part of the UTI or is something wrong. My ob is unable to get me in for a ultrasound. Did this happen for anyone else?

Answer

It might be the UTI, might be a swelling uterus , etc.. I had sharp nerve pain down my right groin as well as crampiness. It eventually went away after week 8-ish. Try some warm baths at night with epsom salt and some stretches for your hips. The body does a lot of crazy shifting and growing early on (and later on) and from what I have gathered doctors dont really know what can get affected. Some women even get sciatica. Drink lots of water too. If you get swollen anywhere or discoloration call your doc.
