very normal. I had some pretty uncomfy pains and i was so sure AF was coming. I had them again about 8 weeks too.. no bleeding aswell. My DD is now 1 y.o
I'm still going to take it easy though. I don't plan on moving off the couch for the whole week and my good friend from Bunbury is coming up on Wednesday to spend a few days with me.
Just wondering, when is the earliest I can get a scan? Do I have to go thru my Ob?
COngratulations on your BFP! As the other ladies have mentioned the cramping you are experiencing is absolutely normal. I can't say how long it will last as it is different for everyone. With my first pregnancy I can remember it lasting for several weeks. I am also about 4 weeks and experiencing the cramping again.
As for the ultrasound, it is usually recommended to have the first one (dating scan) at around 7 weeks. This is when the heartbeat is detectable. You can ask your GP for a referal for the scan and then make an appt with the OB.
the pain?? it will prob come and go the entire pregnancy, sorry. lol The lower pain seemed to ease for me about 14 weeks.
You can get a scan usually around 6 weeks, a dating scan, if you are unsure about your dates. The next one is 12 weeks, (checking abnormalities in nuchal fold). Alot of people dont have their first scans till the morphology scan, which is around 19-20 weeks.
All your scan can be organised through your GP. Your care taker will organise most things for u, u just need to tell them what u want done.
