Are these ectopic pregnancy cramps?

Question

maybe this is just me being super paranoid about losing my pregnancy, but i read that one sided abdominal cramps can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy, usually around week 5. i’m 6 weeks and 1 day and i have cramps on the left side of my stomach. they’re not severe cramps but they’re uncomfortable and i can feel them when i walk, or when i breath in. i’m thinking maybe it could also be because i ate too much today? i started to feel a little crampy just in the general stomach area and then (TMI) I went number 2 and that’s when the cramps turned one sided was after i used the bathroom. what do you guys think?

Answer

I had this. Unless it’s painful it’s probably not ectopic. Everything is stretching out down there.

Answer

I’m having the same concerns and I literally had a ruptured ectopic aug 5 so you’d think I’d remember what the pain was like 🤦🏻‍♀️ honestly, my ectopic pain woke me from sleep and I just knew something was wrong. The one thing that scares me is everyone always says that ectopic are accompanied by bleeding and constant pain...this was not the case for me. My pain was terrible for like 4 hours and then suddenly went away. I almost left the ER waiting room. Also, I was not at all spotting or bleeding. This probably doesn’t help you, but just remember your body is going through crazy changes and cramps and pain is to be expected. Just pay attention to the pattern and really listen to your gut. (I keep telling myself the same thing... like I just had an ectopic what are the chances this could happen again...and so soon???) 😑

Answer

I had this too and I literally could feel my ovary trying to rid itself of the follicle that the egg came out of. Only my left ovary works and i have always been internally aware of my body. I literally can tell the difference between pain in my ovary, round ligament, and bladder and i know where baby is but cant feel movements yet. I say its the ovary getting rid of your follicle or where is sitting while the placenta and body form and grow.
