    Nope! You're growing a child in your ute. Normal.

    I feel them. I've had three episodes of extremely painful cramps within the past week. I'm hoping it's nothing but I'm really worried.  My doctor said cramping is normal and to be sure to stay hydrated.

    It's very normal. Check through some of the old threads on here. Lots of people experience them as your uterus grows. I had it much worse with my 1st preg than with this one so far. Obviously if it's painful please call your doctor.

    Mild cramps and round ligament pain are some of the most common pregnancy symptoms. It would almost be more weird if you didn't have them.

    Mild cramps are ok. If you can rest when they start up, do. If they get too severe call your Dr. It's just your uterus growing. :)

    I started having some tonight, too. I'm hoping it's just my uterus growing, but after two miscarriages I'm (naturally) terrified.

    I've had pelvic pressure and discomfort 2-3 last week. I'm a FTM so I did some research. Our internal organs literally are moving as our uterus stretches and even this early on our uterus is stretching as our little one continues to grow (I was 6 weeks when I first started experiencing it) Try to remember it's normal, I know it's hard though! I try to let it serve as a reminder and comfort that growth is happening.

    This would be a great post for the symptoms thread.

    I'm glad you posted this because I experienced sharp cramps after eating a chocolate cake. I'm about 8.5 weeks and haven't felt cramps like that thus far.

    I've been having cramping on and off for about 3 days. I'm naturally incredibly worried as well, had MC in June! Just want everything to be ok. Nice to hear I'm not the only one

    I am too!! Every hour or so I check to make sure no bleeding. So far so good. My back is pretty achey too. Trying to think positively-- our little beans are growing ladies!

    Ladies try to remember that cramps are normal since your uterus is stretching and organs are literally moving to make room. As long as there is no bleeding, try to relax as much as you can about it all. Though I know that's so hard!
