A member asked:

Im pregnant and experiencing slight cramping and bubbles on my right side is this normal? i also have cramp in my legs that's stopping sleeping thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: Yes this is all normal. You should try changing sleeping positions with a lot of pillows whether lying down or sitting up in a chair. There is a lot of pressure from the pregnant uterus on your stomach, intestines, and pelvic nerves leading to your legs.
