Early pregnancy cramps??

Question

So I'm 5 weeks and 3 days and this is my first child :) I'm very very excited about it!! But I have been having weird cramps kinda of like period cramps but not as bad and I get the odd sharp pain too! Is this normal? And is it normal to have gas?

Answer

I'm due the same day!! Congrats! Anyways I've been having the exact same pain and it's been waking me up in the middle of the night so I finally caved and called my doctor. Doc said its completely normal and to only be worried if I see spotting. (Seriously how come nobody ever heard about this symptom?!? The only one people usually complain of is morning sickness! (Which I don't have yet.) she said that staying very hydrated helps and to use Tylenol extra strength and heat pads. Honestly the heat pads have been sooo helpful.

Answer

I'm having exactly the same! Both my GP and Midwife said its normal and just the Uterus stretching x

I also have been feeling all these symptoms. My sister in law is a nurse practitioner and pregnant (16weeks now) and she said its all normal and she had the same pains for until about 8-10 weeks. I also talked to the obgyn nurse through my insurance and she said it was all normal, uterus expanding and getting ready, also she said some of the pains I was having could be round ligament pain even in the 1st trimester!

Answer

I'm having the same! Everyone says it's fine, just the uterus stretching to accommodate the growing bean!

Answer

I don't usually get cramps during my cycle, but I do get major lower back pain. And for me, every other day or so I feel that lower back pain like I'm on my cycle. Very uncomfortable.  Hope it eventually go away.
