Only 6 weeks but is this normal?

Question

Been having cramps that are like the ones I get before a period or during it- is this normal?? First pregnancy so don’t know if it is

Answer

I’m cramping a fair amount. It seems particularly uncomfortable after I eat for a bit. Also it seems I’ve already having some digestive issues, gas etc, so I feel that and the cramps like all mashed together lol but yes, from everything I’ve read and heard, NORMAL!

Answer

Yep normal!! Your uterus is stretching & baby is snuggling in for the long haul :)

Answer

Yep.  Cramps are my only preg symptom.  It feels like first day of period cramps because your uterus is stretching and growing.

Answer

I’m feeling the same at 4w+4d - thanks for sharing ladies!

Answer

If the cramping is in your back, try upping your fiber intake! Constipation during pregnancy is no joke. Otherwise, mild cramping is totally fine as long as there is no bright red blood accompanying it.

Answer

I’ve been experiencing the same thing! My mum said she cramped big time when she was pregnant with me. From what I’ve heard and what I’ve been told, it’s completely normal as your body adjusts to growing a little human 😊

Answer

Yep. First pregnancy very little to no cramps. Second definitely some cramping. Third time i have been having major cramps. Which my second is just now turning 1 this week. So they are close in age. So i think my uterus is like what are you doing to me woman!? 😅 but totally normal
