Cramping - HELP!

KyrBo1986

Has anyone had cramps in early pregnancy (when?) and gone on to have a healthy baby? ie not miscarried. Having left side cramping at 4w and worried because had the same last time and had a MMC.

Completely normal, cramping throughout the first trimester.

Like PP said, cramping and muscle aches are completely normal. Try to drink lots of water and take a tylenol if you need it. Also, you may try a heating pad to help release the tight muscles. =D

I'm seven weeks and i'm also having cramps, good news is my midwife said it's normal so you should be fine!

It's very normal.
Do yourself a favor and read a book on pregnancy. Knowledge is power!

Pretty sure it's normal. I had cramping - on one side like you - since 4 weeks. They lasted just over a week. After that, they came and went - on either side - for the next week. Now they come once or twice a day. If the cramping is bad enough that it's making it difficult to walk (mine were a little worse than period-like at first), and the bleeding is bright red and heavy, then maybe you should talk to your doctor. But it doesn't sound like it is. I had the same concerns in the beginning but apparently it's normal. 

I hope everything turns out alright this time around.
