Cramping during first trimester

atuaitanu

Im new here and I just found out I'm pregnant with my first! I'm so excited I can barely stand it! Being so excited makes me extra worried about making sure nothing bad happens! I've been cramping the last week... Since I found out. It's not everyday but some days it's worse than others. Sometimes it feels like a pulling feeling and I know that's normal... But I also get cramps that feel like my period cramps. Does anyone know if that is normal? Should I be worried?

I am also a ftm and I have the same issues!!! I'm so worried but I try to just not think about it. I work with kids all day so I'm on my feet almost 9 hours a day so when I do sit down at the end of the day I feel it like crazy. I try to think that feeling something is better than nothing.

I work with kids all day too! I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this! I just need to not think about it! I feel like being a first time mom is hard because you don't know what to expect your body to do. And you don't know what's normal and what's not!

It's completely normal to feel the cramping. I just had my first appointment today. (We didn't know how far along I was) and the doctor said its normal. However, if there is any bleeding you should contact your OBGYN as soon as possible.
