Short cramps/ pulls?

danagmauro

5 weeks and getting pulling And tugging down there. I might be concerned if it was only one side but its literally all over. Anyone else feeling this? Different feeling than menstrual cramps

Yup from week 4 to now although I think week 5 was the worse. Dr said it is from the uterus stretching

As long as it is a discomfort rather than pain you are probably ok. I have a pulling sensation (and have had with all of my pregnancies) doc has always told me its ok as long as it is not severe pain or accompanied by bleeding. Your uterus is growing!!

Ya I did around that time still kind of do at 7 weeks but not constantly and no bleeding .

I was nervous about cramping too at 5wks. I went to my OB and they said all was well. They also noted that its common for women to develop ovarian cysts with all the hormonal changes so that could have been my discomfort. They said if I get too uncomfortable to take Tylenol and I can massage my belly sometimes that helps. They made it very clear: no bleeding- no problem.

No bleeding or pain...just moments of discomfort. Ill tell you what I didn't need a pregnancy test these odd pullings told me something was up!

I have pulling sometimes, especially when I move to quickly.

I'm experiencing the same thing at 5 weeks

Pretty normal,  provided there is no bleeding. Your uterus is stretching/growing which is where the pulling and cramping can come from.

I get this. Also get random stabs at times. Anyone else? No bleeding though. But the stabs stop me in my tracks.

The stabs are probably RLP (round ligament pain) also caused by your expanding uterus.
