Hi, I'm 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant for about a week now I'm been experiencing on and off cramps/muscle spams in my lower left abdomen. Is there anyone else experiencing or had experienced this?
Cramping is normal and a good sign. I just read today your uterus doubles in size from the size of a pear by 7 weeks. Mine have calmed down a bit this weekend, but last week I was cramping up a storm while at work.

I seem to have a dull ache a lot... If I move around to fast or have to move to much weight (I work a fairly physical job, I'm learning where to cut back, my body is being pretty vocal) It gets a little sharper... I haven't had any spotting and my symptoms are getting stronger as time goes on, so I hope it's normal... I'm trying really hard to not stress too much, I've read that some women have constant round ligament pain throughout their pregnancy. I hope yours abates though! It canbe stressful.
My first pregnancy I had strong cramping on my left side. I was super paranoid about everything the first time around so I told my doc I was concerned about it. He did a transvaginal u/s and everything looked "just perfect". I'm sure it's normal and your uterus is probably just stretching. If you're really concerned, voice your concerns to you doc and he/she should be able to put your mind at ease.

I feel that too! It made me worry thinking that what if i go to the bathroom, pull my panties down and there's blood!! :-o ...but doc says its normal, and the rest of the bumpies too! all we gotta do is chill and pray for a smooth pregnancy journey
I think I know exactly what you are talking about- mine are not like cramps ( i have those too..) but right in my lower left abdomen it feels like a muscle spasm for a quick second or two, then goes away...weirdest thing...not sure why, but glad to know I'm not the only one with it!!
Yeah I've been feeling a bit of round ligament pulling, too. I recognize it from last time! I mostly feel it when I move or get up suddenly, but it goes away quickly.
