Cramping whenever I move

and1994

I’m 6 weeks and 2 days. For the past three days, I’ve been cramping pretty badly. They feel exactly like bad period cramps and intensify when I move. Whenever I’m laying down and resting, they subside. Anyone else experiencing this? There’s no bleeding at all. I’m wondering whether this is normal or cause for concern.

If highly concerned, it doesnt hurt to call the nurses line at your doctor's office and see what they say.  Not to say it is, but I would be concerned of ectopic,  then again it could be your body adjusting.

I had cramping for most of week 5 and first half of week 6. It wasn’t terrible but it was definitely more than mild and worse than my period cramps (which are usually very mild so I just assumed I had less of a tolerance for them). I found that they subsided for the most part when I laid down as well. They subsided after midway through week 6 and haven’t been back. Ultrasound at 8 weeks was completely normal.

Also feel free to join the November BMB. There’s way more action on the BMB groups than this overall first trimester board.
