General stretching feeling?

Hey, ladies! I am 5 weeks, 1 day today. I have this general stretching feeling in my abdomen occasionally accompanied by dull pains. I have been reading up on cramping during pregnancy. How do you judge what is normal or not? I read in one article that it the cramping/pains was more than your typical period pains that then you should be concerned, but otherwise to take it as normal?

Re: General stretching feeling?

  • Yes, I had stretchy cramps almost my whole pregnancy with my son. its very normal. As long as they arent excruciating, you should be fine.

  • Yes, I'm having this sensation almost non-stop. It's a combination of mild PMS cramps and feeling like I just finished 100 sit-ups. 

    Everything I've read says it's normal as long as it's not painful and severe.

  • I've had that stretching feeling right from the start, and still have it.  I was told it's just my uterus "doing its thing" :)
  • Yep, what you're feeling is pretty normal. Unless the cramping is extremely severe or accompanied by blood like a PP mentioned, it shouldn't be cause for concern.
