1st appointment 9/20 but have questions

Hello All! You ladies all have such great answers I'm hoping you have an answer to mine. This is my 1st pregnancy and I have been having  cramps. Which I have read is normal. My cramps have been ranging from mild to more severe they even woke me up last night. But no spotting at all so I'm hoping this is a good sign. My question is I'm also gassy, constipated and nauseous off and on could all these symptoms just be magnifying my cramps and making them feel worse than they are? I feel that they are. But I want input from you ladies. The really bad pains do pass after a while.

    Gas can absolutely be the the cause of some of your cramps.

    I'm new at this also, and I've been having the same symptoms.  I've been bloated, gassy, constipated, and having cramping (although I wouldn't call any of my cramping severe).  I would think your symptoms are normal.  And yes, I think all those symptoms can make cramping worse, especially the gas and constipation. Hope this helped!

    At first it was hard to decipher between the actual cramps and gas pains, but once the cramps go away (mine went away just at the beginning of week 5) you can tell the difference.  Unfortunately my gas pains are still here.  Ugh.

    I've been having gas pains myself.  At first I thought they were cramps, until I realized that the "cramping" went away after letting out the gas.

    Thanks ladies. I was worried so I called my ob's office and they said to be safe let's do an ultrasound. So I went in and have a 3mm little seed in there! To early to really date yet ... were not 100% sure when we conceived but based on ultrasound probably puts me around 4 weeks or so not 5 like I thought. So I hope it sticks! u/s also can't be 100% positive that the seed in planted in the right place but the good news for me is that the u/s tech wasn't 100% it was planted in the wrong place. So that makes it easier to wait until the 20th for my first prenatal appointment.
