I had cramps on and off for the first few weeks as well. I spoke to my midwife and she reassured me if there was no spotting or bleeding it was probably ok. She did offer for me to come in and get checked out if I was really worried.
What I did find is that if I over did it anything, like being too active, stretching, getting too tired my body would tell me with cramping. So when I feel the cramps now I take it as a hint to sit down, have a cup of tea and rest for a little while.
BUT if you are worried, speak to the dr and let them check you out if you are worried.
Hope you continue to have a happy and healthy pregnancy!
I have been getting some pains. But they are more uncomfortable than actually painful, I spoke to the dr about it last week and he assured me that it is normal. But if they are worrying you go in and get it checked. Also could you request a dating scan (you can get them from 7 weeks) just to put your mind at ease that everything is ok!
Also and this is a bit gross but hey it might help! Have you been going to the toilet??? I was getting shocking excrciating pains, and it was because i was so constipated! Which is apparently normaly first trimester & combined witht he iron in my preg vitamins! YUCK! I took some metamucil fibre capsules and the pains were releived when i was! Could it be something like that???
good luck hun, hope that your feeling better soon!
Yup, can be completely normal. I had period-like pain every day for the first 8 - 10 weeks. They were intermittent, like yours, but quite uncomfortable. At one stage it got so bad it really freaked me out and I rushed off to the doc (in tears, sure I was losing bubs) and they sent me for an ultrasound. And there was my little 6-week-old blob bobbing away in there with a nice, strong heart-beat!
Both sonographer and doc said it is normal to get pains from uterus and surrounding ligaments stretching. This is usually only concerning if it is a) accompanied by bleeding, or b) getting significantly stronger and more regular. This generally put my mind at ease but they said it was fine to come in for a check if I was worried - it's better to be sure, rather than freaking out, not sure how to judge what you're experiencing.
Congrats on your pregnancy hun, hope it's a wonderful, healthy and joyous one.
Congrats on your news,
Does the pain feel like dull period type cramps or feel like you need to do number twos?
This is what I felt in those early days when my uterus was stretching to accomodate bubs.I still do from time to time.
If youre really concerned see your doctor, He/she will put your mind at ease. But it sound pretty normal to me but Im no doctor.
