Anyone else cramping?

ocbookworm

I'm just at 6W and I have been noticing that for about the last week, I have been experiencing cramps off and on pretty regularly throughout the day and night.  Of course, online it says it's only a problem if it's accompanied by bleeding (which I have been clear of). But, no one else seems to be complaining about cramping on any of these forums so I wanted to see if anyone else out there is with me on this! Might help give me peace of mind because my first ultra sound isn't for 10  more days!!!

I am also at 6W, and have had some cramping. It has kind of trailed off over the last week, but last night I had one that woke me up. Same as you, no spotting, just random cramps. I have been told its normal, but I still plan on checking at my first appt on Friday, as this is all new to me!

I have been! And I did the same thing you did this morning, and read that cramping is usually ok if not accompanied by bleeding (which I am not either). I mentioned it on my first appt. a couple weeks ago, and the doctor said it was fine. My next appt. is on 6/11, so if I am still having cramping, I'll mention it again. After my m/c last year, I am paranoid about EVERYTHING, so these boards really help to calm my nerves!

I've been experiencing the same. I'm approximately 4 weeks 5 days ands it's really stressing me out. Please someone take google from me!

It's sometimes worse at night when I'm trying to fall asleep, however I haven't had any spotting so I'm trying to stay positive. It's cramping on either side of my abdomen and pressure in the lower abdomen randomly throughout the day and night. I've got 4 weeks till my first appt so if anyone gets any word from their doctor, feel free to update with it!

@ocbookworm‌ @steelerfanva‌ good luck at your check-ups!

Yup I started cramping almost immediately .. I'm almost 9 weeks and just this past week it's toned down a bit and not as noticeable.

Thanks Ladies!! The rational side of my brain knows this isn't probably a big deal, but I've never been pregnant so I am just so nervous in these beginning stages (and we have been TTC for 3.5 years, so this is a biggie for us!!). Glad to know I'm not alone in this - hope you all have good healthy days and your lil nuggets progress well!! Cheers!

I thought I was the only! Definitely had an emotional breakdown today because of lol! My sister was like stop you're making me sad. I've been having very light cramps since before I found out I was pregs and they come and go. But no bleeding. Still stressful. After finding out I feel like I've been reading a lot more in to my body. Fx that we all have happy and healthy babies January!!

I notice cramping daily, but at certain times they seem especially strong. My first thought is always to get nervous but I've had no spotting/bleeding so then I quickly think about how much my ute is stretching and growing. It has already doubled in size over these past few weeks! Of course I would feel that!

6w today and definitely cramping a bit. But also no spotting

Edit:  added a word that didn't belong

Some light cramping and some light ovary pain, like ovulation pain, but not severe.... figure I'm still making hormones from it... :-)

Definitely common. I've had it since I got my BFP! Rest and water should help. You'll notice that it's worse with exertion and dehydration.

I've had some sharp pinch like pains on the right and left on my front side. From what I read it's my muscles and body getting ready to carry baby it's super uncomfy especially when i get up 4-7 times a night to pee and feel the cramps. But our bodies are trying to be ready good luck to everyone

Round ligament pain (RLP) is real. This message board has been helpful. I have not shared how I feel wit my husband bc I don't want him to worry unnecessarily. Thanks everyone for your comments and reassurance.

I had about 15 mins of ongoing cramps mid-5th week, followed by some light blood that went away same day and hasn't been back since. I called my office's nurse line and she said to monitor and call if anything more happened. I'm 8 weeks today and home tests are still reading positive. First appt in another 10 days.
