Cramping on and off, no blood, Anyone else?

Question

Hi ladies, I am 4w5d with my first. I am  curious to know if anyone else is experiencing pretty strong cramping besides me? It's been going on for about 5 days, worse at night I've noticed. At times it's worse then AF cramps! No blood, no discharge, just cramping. I talked to my OBGYN a few times and she keeps assuring me it's just expansion of the uterus, but really? It keeps me up at night and inhibits my daily activities. Anyone having this? I have been researching and it could be constipation, I'm going to try to treat that naturally and see if it helps, a popcorn bag helps a lot too, but please tell me I'm not the only one! I expected other PG symptoms, but not this :(

Answer

Ok ladies! I just bought prune juice.... We will see how this works haha sorry tmi but maybe it can help? I'll let you know!

Answer

5 weeks...week since we've found out now and the first three days was nausea horrid back and hip pain and crazy exhaustion (which has disappeared since) now my boobs ache and feel heavy and I have achy cramps...  
​
​The cramps remind me I'm pregnant I guess, though it worries me more then reassures me...but I'd almost prefer the light nausea I had before cause I really felt certain I was pregnant.

Answer

It's very normal! I'm 8 weeks 3 days and I still have them

Answer

I had terrible cramping from about 4 weeks 4days. They were so bad that I couldn't walk and I always had to hold my lower abdomen. I'm almost 13 weeks now and everything is just fine! I guess they are very normal!

Answer

I'm almost at 8 weeks and I get cramps still. I was told cramps are normal as long as there is no blood.

Answer

From 4 weeks to 6 or so weeks, mine were AWFUL!!! They would wake me up at night. During the day, I would have to stop what I was doing and just go sit for about 10 minutes and sometimes brought me to tears. I am 10 weeks now and never have cramping. Try taking gas X and probiotics. I do have IBS and I figured everything going on just threw me off a little bit. It could be gas

Answer

I'm 11 weeks and still have them. Like you, they seem to be stronger at night. It's normal. It is just your uterus growing. I took Tylenol last night and didn't wake up hurting. It was nice! Although I did wake up a few times durin the night, I wasn't in pain. Talk to your ob about taking some Tylenol to help with the cramping pains.

Answer

I'm also experiencing the same thing, I was told its growing uterus... But I'm still worried. Although there's no blood or spotting I've read that ectopic pregnancies have these symptoms, I've experienced cramps on once side at times... I'm 7 weeks now and still have to wait for a midwife appointment as I've been told I'm too early to see one yet.. Doctors have no appointments and earliest I can see them is this Wednesday coming... I'm getting anxiety thinking about having to wait 5 days

Answer

I'm 16 weeks and was told it's everything growing and expanding too. She also said it can be constipation or that I can be low in calcium and or potassium! Honestly I've been eating more of both and I still have cramping pretty bad

Answer

Break through!!!!! I tried the prune juice, still got terrible cramps last  ight. This morning I felt it coming on, so I stood up and stretched against them. I made myself long and put my arms up and stretched my core, and the cramps never came! I didn't let it cramp up. Hopefully that will always help. Try it!! Also I'm going to the dr today because she said if they are hurting so badly I need a heat bag, then she wants to check things out. Honestly, I'm nervous, but hopefully everything is fine :)
