Period like cramps between 5-7 weeks pregnant?

Tee868 · January 2016

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Is anyone else having period like cramping anywhere between 5-7 weeks? There is no spotting or bleeding and it happens randomly lasting about 2-5 minutes sometimes.

I'm a bit worried

Currently 7 weeks and 1 day.

It's normal. Cramps are one of the most common early pregnancy symptoms. You're cramping because your uterus is growing and surrounding muscles and ligaments are being stretched.

I had the same panic until I looked it up and saw it was normal (also asked my dr.) I'm also 7 w 1 d.

I'm 7w3d and I've been having period like cramps since 7w. It also made me panic but my OB said it's normal and a good thing.

I'm 7w2d and have had them on and off since 4 weeks. Didn't have many the past week and today they're more apparent. I definitely believe it's the growing uterus but also am chugging water which helps!

It's totally normal, but it does suck. And hurts. Every time it happens I kind of hold my breath, waiting to start bleeding :-( but when it passes I relax a little. Try to breathe easy through them and stay relaxed mama :-)

Just keep it easy and relax, normal baby is growing that's all unless you have blood with it than be concerned but it's cramping that will happen and good signs of baby growth, keep it easy

Normal. They were one of my first symptoms, and before I knew I was pregnant, I actually thought my period was coming. They have eased a bit, but still come and go sometimes at 9 weeks, 5 days.

Totally normal - I had them consistently from about 4 weeks and started to ease for me around 8 weeks. 10 weeks now, and get them very infrequently.

Yeah, mine was bad between 4-7 weeks too! I'm now 10 weeks but cramping a lot less!! Hang in there and drink lots of water.

Thanks so much all of you for reassurance!!! I have an ultra sound scheduled for Monday so looking forward to that

Yep totally normal!

Another vote for normal, happened to me between 5 and 7 weeks exactly and they seem to be getting worse with each pregnancy. I was actually worried for a bit until they completely disappeared around week 8. Good luck!
