Hello everyone! Just curious if anyone else felt cramping at this stage. This is my second pregnancy and I had cramping for about 5 days. I'm one day shy of 5 weeks today. Is this pretty normal? I didn't cramp this much with my first 5 years ago. No spotting at all. Thank you!
I'm also just 5 weeks today - well as far as I know - and am having slight muscle cramps. Hopeing this is normal, I can't remember from my other two pregnancy's.
I've been having cramping for the last week. A lot in my lower back too then all of a sudden it subsided today. Feeling a little bit again now that I'm laying down but my friend/coworker is 13 weeks and she said she still gets them. I guess they come and go!
I also feel like I'm cramping. It's round ligament pain from your uterus expanding. Mine was miserably painful with #1 and I'm hoping it won't be as bad this time around.
I once complained about how bad early pregnancy pain was to one of my co-workers. Apparently she never experienced any pain. I kind of hated her.
I'm so glad you posted this and for all of the feedback. I just started having tiny cramps today, and with 2 previous M/Cs I did get a little nervous. Nothing like those cramps, though, thank goodness. Feel better now
I'm three weeks and am cramping something fierce. It's why I tested; 11 dpo is too early for period cramps for me.
I started cramping 3DPO. At first I figured it was ovulation pain, which it may have been. But, by 6DPO I knew something was up because it was too late for O pains and too early for period pains. I tested at 7DPO but obviously got a BFN; didn't get my first BFP until 10DPO. Basically I've had twinges of cramping for the past 10 days, but it just reminds me that things are happening in the depths of my ute.
together since '03/married since '14/started TTC Dec '14 /Holy shit! BFP 12/28/14!
I am a FTM and am 5 weeks today. I have been having cramping pretty often for the last few days. They are pretty strong at times, but no bleeding. I have a long menstral cycle at 35-40 days, so technically I haven't missed a period yet since we tested early. So I am feeling waves of nervousness!
Exactly right @19gem87 - and thanks for posting this. I'm 5w tomorrow and have been cramping in the morning & at night and it's been stressing me out. I'm glad for the reassurance that it's normal!
