weird muscle spams in lower left abdomen

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?

Re: weird muscle spams in lower left abdomen

  • 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.

  • Mine feel like a full tweak, not painful, if that helps.

  • I guess full = mild. :)

  • 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.

  • It's round ligament pain. Totally normal! Mine gets sharper when I move suddenly.

  • Thank you so much I feel alot better! !!
  • 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 had those cramps for three nights at exactly 130am. Now I'm good.
  • 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!! 
  • How bizarre... while reading this thread, I just felt the exact same pain on the lower left!

  • 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.
