I know cramping in early pregnancy is normal, but mine are happening more and more frequently each day.

It started as one episode at 4w+1d right before bed. Lasted about 10 minutes but had me grimacing like a bad period cramp.

After that, I’d have them 1-2 times a day for about 5 minutes. Pelvic and lower back ache accompanied by frequent/loose bowel movements.

Now I’m 5w+2d and I feel like the cramps are happening 5+ times a day for as little as a couple minutes to 5-10.

Should I be worried? My hCG on Tuesday (4w+6d) was 5,305 and I’m waiting to hear back about my number from yesterday.

I’ve been taking 1-2 500mg Tylenol each day and going to the bathroom often which seems to temporarily help.

If anyone is or has had something similar, please let me know!
