1st Trimester

Cramps and Backaches!

Hi everyone,

 I just joined this website and am really impressed with the amount of information i can get with this page. 

 I just want to know how you felt in the early stages of your pregnancy. I am about 4 to 5 weeks pregnant. I have period like cramps and backache. I dont see the doctor until 3 more weeks because the dr wants to see me at 8 weeksSad

 This is my first child and I am really concerned. Please let me know how similar were your cramps to your PMS cramps. I am having 95% same cramps as PMS cramps. I feel like my period is about to start and I get very worried! 

 Thanks ahead of time for your answers!

 

Re: Cramps and Backaches!

  • Hi and welcome!

    I had the exact same thing when I was 4-5 weeks along. Cramps that would weak me up at night, lower backpain and I even spotted brown for a few days. But all is good and I'm 9 weeks today :)

    Don't worry, its all a part of it :) Congrats!

  • With both pregnancies, for a couple of weeks, i felt like my period was about to start at any moment, cramps, etc.  Then, it never arrived.......... :-)

  • Thank you so much for your reply, it really made me feel good! The cramps feel like I'm about to start my period and I get afraid! LOL! 

    Hopefully everything will be fine! Thanks a lot again for your reply!

     

    Congrats to you too and hope this journey is easy for you! 

  • That's exactly how I felt.  I actually kept saying "I think my period will be here today" and it never happened.

  • For the past two days I've had cramps that have woken me up at night.  I feel like my uterus is wringing itself out!  I haven't had any spotting or backaches (yet) but man, this cramping is KILLING me, especially since I was a steady BC user for six years and almost never had cramps.  This brings back not-so-fond memories.
  • OMG!! That's exactly how I feel!!! I am always scared and think to myself, "This has to be period cramping!!" But somewhere in the back of my head it says they wont start! Hopefully everything will be fine! Congrats to you! Hope everything goes smoothly with you!
