Bloated and crampy

I am feeling so bloated!!  And on my left side I feel extra crampy...kind of like a dull ache.  It feels a little better if I put my hand on it and apply light pressure.  Is this normal? Anyone else feeling or felt this way around 5 weeks??

    Hmm, interesting. I had a little bit of "pull" or ache on my left side this morning.  I don't feel bloated but my pants were slightly tight this morning.  I could just be imagining it all, though.  It is very subtle.  The one thing I'm not imagining for sure is the fatigue!  I could take a very solid nap right this second.

    I felt that way until about the middle of my 6th week.  The cramps were terrible, woke me up in the middle of the night and the only way I could relieve the pain was to sit "american criss-cross style" (as my 8 yr nephew calls it) with my head in my hands.  Everything since then has been pretty mild.

    Okay, now the left side cramping is noticeable.  I wonder what that is.  Ligaments stretching?

     

    eta:  Google is telling me it's the uterus stretching.

    I had cramping up until I was 5 weeks, was fine for a day or two and now have like an annoying spasm-like feeling on my L side.. It was on my right earlier but now is persisting on my left.  I have had no bleeding/spotting but am freaking out and in tears just because I am so concerned :(

    I have been really crampy for like two weeks now.  Until I got my BFP, I thought I was about to start my period.  Just recently have I noticed the bloat.  I've been wearing my DH's gym shorts around the house Smile
