Ugh...cramps

jwf0910 · August 2013

Hey ladies!

I woke up in the middle of the night with semi bad cramps. I totally freaked and ran to the bathroom, but fortunately no blood. I stayed up for the next hour praying everything would be okay until I eventually fell back to sleep. This morning they have definitely turned to mild cramps and still not spotting or anything. I am just WORRIED. I feel like I read so many different things online. Some says if you have cramps similar to menstrual cramps, it's a bad sign. Fortunately I am seeing the doc for the first time today. I am 5 weeks 5 days. Really hoping I am okay. I had no idea how much worrying the 1st trimester would entail... Note: I am a high anxiety person that worries a LOT! Doesn't help...

Happy Thursday

Good luck to your appointment. Cramps are normal in early pregnancy and the discomfort can vary based tolerance, but definitely mention it to your doctor.
