I am crampy still with no bleeding, Is this normal?

Your uterus has so much growing to do in the next 9 odd months, and yes, this can sometimes cause cramping which can be very scary. So unless it is getting painful or starting to be accompanied by bleeding, then I would say it was just normal.

Thank you, thank you. I guess its easy to over react to every little niggle you get when you have never experienced it before. I am glad I found this site. I am glad to have other women to talk to. I dont feel so lonely.
Thank you

Hi Puppies
I agree with all the others it sounds normal providing there is no bleeding. It is caused by your uterus growing and stretching

[puppies]

Thanks Alan. I am not worried now as I have found comfort and peace in all your responses. I am relieved so thank you for settling my worries.

I had really horrible cramping around 6 weeks and i still am getting the occasional cramps now. Try not to think about it too much (easier said than done i know) and just let your body do its thing

I have always wondered why pregnancy guides never mention cramping. Not to lull women into a false sense of security but to help them recognise "normal" cramping..
I tip-toed practically everywhere with my first bubby. I was utterly terrified of every new cramp. Actually the only reason I did a pregnancy test with DD1 was because I had such strong period pains, they had been going for a week or so and I realised I was well overdue!
