Cramping??

Okay, I know cramping is a normal thing during pregnancy.  My question is...should I be cramping more around week 6-7 than I was a couple weeks ago?  It seems like these past few days have been worse than a couple weeks ago.  I did do a LOT of walking this weekend...could that have anything to do with it??  I haven't had any spotting or anything.  They aren't ongoing, just come an go, but they seem to be coming and going a lot more often.  Like 10 times a day more than just once or twice.  Sorry if this may be a dumb question...this is my first, it took us a year and I am just terrified something is going to happen.  Thanks!

    I actually had this same question except I am having cramps at about 4 weeks.  It's not constant like you said but it's uncomfortable.  I am also constipated (TMI) and have gas so I am wondering if that is contributing.

    I had a lot of cramping with DS the first trimester that was on and off some weeks.  This time I just had it in the very beginning and it picked up again around 10-11w.  So much growing going on, you know?  I also had a cyst with DS that caused sharp cramps on my right side around 6w though.

    I'm only just about 6 weeks along and I am haven't had cramping in a while, but you never know when it might start up again. Anyway, I was wondering how far along you actually are. Your ticker doesn't match up with your due date of April 24. If your due date is April 24, you'd only be 5 weeks along today.

     Hmmm...that was weird...I fixed my ticker...I guess I entered a wrong date or something.  I was tracking my cycle on fertilityfriend.com, according to my chart, my due date is April 24.  I don't have my first dr appt until Sept 10, so won't know for sure until then.  I hope its right tho...that is the hubby's birthday!

    My first appointment is September 7, so just a few days before yours! I know exactly when I ovulated since I was using FF as well, so it'll be interesting to see how far along the baby is measuring, and if i'll keep my current due date of April 19. :)

    From what I understand, cramping is nothing to worry about unless it becomes severe and sharp, and / or accompanied by a significant amount of bleeding -- not just spotting.   Basically, if it feels like menstrual cramps, you have nothing to worry about.  You may even feel that your whole pregnancy.

    I had cramps before my bfp.  I'm still having them a little but not as bad.  I think it's normal.
