Anyone else ?

I woke up this morning feeling like I did 100 crunches before bed (obviously I didn't) but I had cramps low like I did ! Does anyone else have this ? A girl at work told me around 18/19 w ill start to feel some pain/cramping low because that is where the baby is. Currently though, I'm blaming this on not drinking enough water.

Speaking of, does it count if I'm drinking water with flavoring? Like those sugar free packets you add to the bottle?

teh sugar free packets as long as it doesn't contain any artificial sweeteners like Aspertaine. Thats not safe. I use the brand "TRUE LEMON" you can find it on their site directly they make flavors and they use STEVIA which according to this site (american pregnancy) it is safe to drink. They also make one that is just "crystallized lemon" which I LOVE! Its basically a lemon wedge squeezed in w/o buying a lemon helps me drink water much more during the day!

This may be why you are cramping up bc lack of water...but yes the baby can also cause some pain as well.

I say it counts. I drank flavored and vitamin water through all of my pregnancies including this one. I still don't drink enough though LOL. I even drank crystal light with my previous pregnancies, and considered that water intake LOL.
