6 week cramping

Has anyone else been dealing with abdominal cramping at 6 weeks? Mine just started a couple days ago... I feel it just enough for it to be irritating. Is this normal?

Re: 6 week cramping

  • @missbianca84 sorry to hear that. I'm still at 5 and so I can't comment on your exact situation but I've got the cramping going on big time here. It's always worrying me because it feels so much like period cramps!

  • Just shy of six weeks but I've had lots of mild on and off cramping the entire time.  A few abdominal cramps but mostly feels like dull period cramps.  My doc said when the cramps have you bending over in pain or if they are accompanied by any blood to give them a call.

  • To encourage you--- I had cramping with both of my previous pregnancies early on (which both went to full term and now I have two beautiful boys)...and the cramps were irritating enough to keep me up at night. They were uncomfortable/ached for several days. BUT in my case at least, they were totally normal and I had healthy pregnancies, which I am incredibly thankful for.
  • Thank you everyone for the replies! Today was much better, only a few mild cramps. I think this is a "one day at a time" situation! Best wishes to everyone ❤️
  • I had cramps that started yesterday - 6 wks. Called doc as they were bad enough to take my breath away. They started progesterone to keep things "quiet". Hope it helps as that will be the only quiet thing in my house!
  • @Ren did the doctor say everything was fine with the baby even though your cramps have been very painful? Best wishes!
  • I have had cramps, twinges and all kinds of dull pains throughout my uterus and I am 6 weeks tomorrow. I have googled like crazy since you can't get a speedy appointment this early. Everything I read said not to worry unless there is bleeding or they are severe and that it is just your uterus growing.

    My mom actually said since I have very dramatic heavy and painful periods, "Girl, you know you can feel every little thing that goes on down there! Don't be surprised your feeling something now." Mamas words made  me relax more than my Google search lol!

  • Hey everybody, I am six weeks too. Yesterday, I had the fear of my life. I did some pregnancy workout, and after I got home I noticed some blood in my underwear, and everytime I wipe down there it will be some pinkish blood too. We went to the ER and were stuck there from 9am to almost 5pm. They run exams, and an ultrasound. I was really happy to know that the fetus is still hanging there. This morning the cramps got very strong, I am still in bed. I've read that it was normal to have some light bleeding and also some cramps. Let hope it is.
    So now we gotta deal with morning sickness and cramps, in my case my sickness happens at night too agrrrrrr.
    Good luck to everyone here. Hope we can share more stuff like this.
  • @allykaim how are you feeling? Glad to know that the baby is fine. I've had very light random cramps the past few days, then light spotting started today. It ended in less than 1 hr. Now I'm very worried. Calling the dr in the morning. Luckily the cramps arent severe. Praying that everything is fine!
  • Hey there, I finally feel better today. I ate some soup yesterday and slept well. The spotting is more brownish now. The cramps still there but not like yesterday's. Yes call the doctor just to inform him that there was spotting. I hope this will be behind us in the next weeks. This is the worst feeling ever, add to it the sickness. You can't really focus on anything. What helped me, since I am on bed rest for the next 24 hours, is watching TV and just entertaining my self. I am here if you'f like to talk.
  • I am 6 weeks today and have also had a lot of cramping on and off. Yesterday I noticed that my discharge was a very light brown, and I just went to the bathroom a few minutes ago and it was more of a light pink color... Praying this is normal!!
  • I totally feel all of this right now. I had cramping a lot during weeks 4 and most of week 5 but it's been very mild until yesterday. I work at a factory and while I've been on restrictions due to the pregnancy, sometimes moving a heavy rolling rack can't be avoided and yesterday I moved one and got a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and it lasted 10 minutes then reduced to a dull ache for a while. No blood after but still can't help but be worried. 6 weeks and 3 days but it feels like this first trimester is dragging on. I just want to get the first ultrasound over with

  • I had cramping for most of week five and as i hit week six the cramping started easing up. For awhile i thought something was terribly wrong but my doctor said as long as theres no bleeding everything is alright :)
  • Ive had light cramping until 5 hours ago I was in extreme pain. I was bent over crying the pain was so intense in my uterus. It went away after 20 mins. I dont eat unhealthy or anything I wonder what caused this pain?
