5 weeks feeling crampy?

Darcysmom

I had a miscarriage in May... DNC May 31st... I had one period, then I was late.. I took several pg. test.. all positive.. I can't get in to see my Ob until next Tues..  I guess I am just freaking out and being paranoid.... worried..... I have been very tired, and my breasts are so swollen.... Last night when I got in bed I started cramping, and it scared me.. Cramping but no spotting or anything.. I looked on the internet and found lots of woman saying at 5 weeks they are feeling cramps due to the uterus growing, stretching??  Anyone else feeling this??

Yes, cramping is normal as long as you aren't bleeding. I still get cramps here and there. 

You are going to have some symptoms, then they might go away and then they may come back. If all else fails, just call your dr.  That's what you pay them for. 

Congrats and H&H 9 months to you!!

Thank you!  I am sure everything is fine... My last baby only made it to around 7 weeks, and I never cramped at all.. never had any signs of a miscarriage until I was 12 weeks, then I started spotting.... We didn't have an early ultrasound, so I just didn't know until I started spotting... I am praying hard the cramping is just my uterus making room for baby!

Congrats to you too!!

Yes, I know it's hard not to worry.  I've had a few early miscarriages (chemical pregnancies) and a blighted ovum.  I just had a baby 8 months ago and usually I have miscarriages between births (I have 2 boys) so I am trying to wait until we hear the heartbeat on the doppler at 11 weeks, that's when my dr gives me the clear   It's difficult to try and not stress!

And yeah through all of my pregnancies I had mild cramping.  This pregnancy they went away around 5 1/2 weeks but I got them again the other day.

I also had a miscarriage in May, then had one period on June 27th.  Started ttc again on the 8th of July and I got a BFP.  I feel a little crampy (mostly at night) as well.  I am nervous like you are, but if it helps you any....My OB said that the pregnancy after a miscarriage is usually a strong one.  I stick to that comment every day and it helps me a lot.  I also am relieved that other women say this is normal.  I am sure that everything will be fine with you and your little one.  Congrats!

I just got my BFP today and i have been feeing crampy all week. I've heard of many women feeling crampy in the first few weeks.

i had terrible cramps from ovulation until just a day or two ago. they have definitely subsided now. of course i'm worried about them disappearing because that was my main symptom!

I posted a similar question a few days ago about cramping.  I'm a little over 5 weeks and the cramps and dull ache have subsided quite a bit.  They were never unbearable but pretty constant for at least a week.  

 I too had a m/c before having my son in 2009 so I'm trying to over come my fears by thinking positive thoughts.  Hang in there!
