It is vital to keep your body hydrated and prevent cramps. Dehydration could lead to host of other complications.Mild cramping throughout nine months is common, unless, it is accompanied with bleeding or severe stomach pain. Your body changes drastically to make room for the growing baby. As your uterus expands, the muscles and ligaments which are supporting the uterus also stretch.
