Cramps with baby #2

Layla

Hey due date buddies! I’m pretty sure I’ll be due in September. I know they go by your first day of LMP but I experienced this all with my son. Cramps an all. And I was like only 5 weeks pregnant when I got an ultrasound. I’m pretty sure I’m

About 4 weeks. My cycles average about 39 days. I had a very clear positive on the day of my expected period. I had been cramping all week and my period had not came yet and that usually means something for me and I also tested last weekend and it was negative. It was not a FRER so I’m thinking the implantation process was either just starting or the pregnancy test I was taking had less sensitivity. Anyway

The cramps. Please someone reassure me. They have gotten better but sometimes they are really bad. I have not experienced any bleeding as of right now. I cramped like this with my son probably way worse and I think it’s bc I was a ftm. I took a digital pregnancy test and it was positive. I know my hcg is atleast 50 then I’m just scared. I feel like I know if it doesn’t work out, I understand but the waiting for the first appt has got me so anxious. I just don’t understand why these cramps are so awful. I figured they wouldn’t be but here again they are bad.

I don’t think I had a lot of symptoms with my son at this point but that scares me too. My boobs have gotten fuller. Cramps and maybe I could say I have tender nipples but that’s about it. I’ve had some weird hunger pains even right after I eat but I just don’t know what to think. Pregnancy is always so scary to me in the beginning esp since I’ve had friends experience loss and I use to work in that dept.

Words of encouragement would be appreciated.
