hi ladies, I'm 5 weeks pregnant today and my cramps are quite bad, to the point I feel as though I've started my period often throughout the day and I will run to the bathroom. they're the same as period pains and quite painful, not enough to make me double over but most definitely enough to make me squirm around and curl my toes. they're like the cramps I get on my first day of my period. I don't have a midwife to talk to as it's too early and I'm feeling as though I'm just in limbo waiting for something bad to happen :(. anyone experienced the same as me? they also tend to be worse at nighttime?? they've woken me up the past few nights. not constant but in waves throughout the day and night. any help at all would be so much appreciated because I'm a first time mum and this baby is so badly and desperately wanted. x
