Am I just being paranoid?

I got the preservative free flu shot yesterday and ever since I've had more than normal cramping. I would say more of a feeling of stiffness or light contracting in my uterus.(off and on) not painful, more annoying. Did anyone else experience this?  I feel great and I'm not experiencing spotting. Could it be my nerves are getting the best of me? 

Thanks in advance!

How far along are you?

I'm sure it's probably paranoia. I do the same thing, worry about every little thing. :) If there's no bleeding, the cramping is probably unrelated to the flu shot & more just growing pains, I would say.

My doctor recommends the flu & the pertussis vaccination & I have yet to do either. (Not sure when exactly you get the pertussis one, if it matters or not when you do it, actually)

How far along are you?  Sounds like BHx to me.  Not related to a vaccine.

Probably just coincidence or paranoia. If it gets a lot worse or accompanies by blood I would contact you doctor but probably just normal stretching and Braxton hicks.

Exact same thing happened to me. I was also 16 weeks, i think it is pure coincidence!  I am at 21 weeks now and doing great!
