More than just morning sickness... help please!

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I am approximately 6 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing

abdominal cramping in addition to nausea. This is my second child

and I didn't experience the cramping with my first child. My OB/GYN

told me the cramping was not that uncommon and is associated with

the expansion of my uterus. She recommended Tylenol for the pain.

 

I'm not crazy about taking medication, but I did follow her

recommendations. Unfortunately, the Tylenol doesn't seem to help.

I have also tried some herbal solutions - ginger helps with the

nausea but not the cramping; Wild Yam and Red Clover seem to keep

the pain from being incapacitating, but I'm still pretty

uncomfortable. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Kathy

A calcium/magnesium supplement - as calcium is good for this... are you taking any kind of vitamins? Calcium? Lemon egg is good for calcium also.
