No More Cramping in Early Pregnancy??

Question

It's me again, your worried, newly pregnant, first time mom.

I am five weeks and six days and I have stopped cramping. I found out I was pregnant a about three weeks ago and I was having terrible cramps- like wake up in the middle of the night thinking I was dying terrible cramps. For the past couple of days I have noticed I haven't been cramping at all. This has been my only real symptom besides tender breasts. Is this normal or should I be worried?  Have you experienced cramping and suddenly it's stopped?

Answer

Cramping should be mild or a little more. But before I found out I was pregnant I had severe cramps that I thought were period cramps like I was going to get it and it turns out I was pregnant. I'd say it's normal if you. An bare them and aren't bleeding.

Answer

My cramps went away in that week as well. I read if you changed positions (standing/sitting/lying down) and they went away, it was okay. I'm 8 weeks now and I've had few and far between twinges. I get more stabbing ligament pains when sneezing or coughing but nothing like period cramps anymore. No spotting either. Had our 2nd ultrasound yesterday and everything looks good! 🤞🏻I think it's normal as the uterus is stretching but some people have said they had cramps all the time whereas I have not.

Answer

I wouldn't worry...I had mild period-like cramps in the beginning but I noticed they've become much less frequent over the last 2-3 weeks (I'm 7 weeks).  I haven't had any spotting so I'm thinking all is good but of course will feel much better after my first Doc appt on Monday when I'm 8 weeks!
