Cramping

It’s 1am where I am so I can’t call OBGYN at the moment… I’m 8 weeks today and have had consistent moderately sharp cramping since this afternoon. A small amount of brown spotting. Should I be concerned or is this normal? I know cramping and spotting can be normal in the first trimester but the consistent, sharper cramping today has me a little nervous.

    I was always told that brown spotting was old blood and it wasn't something to be concerned about unless it began to turn red. I'm 11 weeks now and haven't had any spotting since I was 6 weeks, which my Dr. told me was implantation bleeding.

    I’ve been feeling crampy off and on, kind of like a dull ache and twinges like menstrual cramps. I’m 11 weeks and also feel a little nervous about it. My doctor said not to worry it’s likely the uterus expanding which causes some muscle strain. The first trimester uncertainty is really hard IMO, especially after having a previous loss at 8 weeks

    this brings me some relief. I’m 11w2d & have been feeling very light cramping in my lower abdomen & sometimes my lower back. They’re never painful but i know it’s there. No bleeding or spotting so I’m hopeful that it’s just my uterus doing its thing, especially since it’s my first (this far); also experienced a loss at 8 weeks in November.

    I had a loss at 7 weeks in August. I’m 11 weeks now. I have occasional cramping (especially when coughing, I’ve been real sick the past two weeks) and random tugging sensations. Feel like I’m hyper aware this time around and it causes a lot of worry. Luckily I’m having appointments every 2 weeks to double check things are going well, got to see our little kicker healthy as a bean and moving around a lot today! Also had light spotting with my first baby, was put on bed rest for about a week and everything went well afterward. So long as you’re taking extra TLC on yourself and not lifting heavy objects hope all is well!

    I also had some cramping/more than a little spotting around 6 weeks and went in thinking the worst. We’re now at 12w2d and everything progressing as normal. I think this is super common and very normal to be worried, hoping the more you hear it’s happened to others the better you’ll feel about it! 😊
