Anyone?

Question

Anyone around 5-7 weeks pregnant and you feel like period cramps in your lower abdomen area?

It's not a horrible pain but it's just irritating more so. When I rub it, it doesn't bother me as much.

Any advice for a new mommy? Thanks ladies.

Answer

During the first trimester, cramping during pregnancy often results from normal changes that occur during your baby’s development.

Cramps can generally be described as pulling sensations on one or both sides of your abdomen. Although not considered a symptom for detection of early pregnancy, it is a symptom that accompanies many pregnancies. For most cases, cramping will be a normal part of pregnancy.

If you experience minor cramping during pregnancy, there are a couple of things you can do for prevention and self-care:

Try to sit, lie down or change positions

Soak in a warm bath

Try doing relaxation exercises

Place a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel on the ache

Make sure you get plenty of fluids

**********If you experience the following types of cramping, you should contact your doctor right away:

Severe pain which does not go away

Lower abdominal pain, accompanied by contractions

Vaginal cramping, bleeding and discharge, accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms and dizziness.

Cramping, along with pain in the shoulder and/or neck

Answer

Same... on and off. Not bad but enough to notice. Probably just growing?

Answer

I've had a little cramping as well. It's not painful and it's not as bad as my period. It's just a little uncomfortable. More like a gassy cramp than anything.

Answer

I had that cramping for about 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant. Probably just your uterus stretching :)

Answer

Hey yes 6 weeks new mom I've been getting the same thing I asked my dr and she said its normal as long as it's not unbearable and no spotting. She said the uterus is stretching so you will get some cramping pain

Answer

I'd like an answer to this also. I keep getting a dull cramp and I'm so terrified of mc.
