Cramping

I know that mild cramping is very common in early pregnancy, but I have waves of some really strong cramps off and on throughout the day. Sometimes it hurts so bad I just have to stop what I'm doing and wait for them to pass. I have not had any spotting or bleeding. Anyone else experience this?

I've had the same- and they can be intense! I've had one normal US with good heartbeat at 6wk 3 days and no reason to be concerned. If you positively knew that there was nothing "wrong" would the cramps really bother you? My advice would be to ride the wave and try not to worry to much!

I have this sharp pinching cramp sometimes, especially when standing from sitting.

Those sharp ones on movement are more likely from the relaxin causing your muscles and ligaments to stretch easily. They get worse throughout pregnancy - "lightening crotch" :)

My dr said you can actually cramp throughout your entire pregnancy. (Especially if it's your 2nd like me) No need to worry unless it's accompanied by bright red blood. It's just everything stretching out down there making room for your growing babe!! ❤️

I've had cramps that wake me up in the night too! But there's no bleeding and they go away after awhile, so I'm hoping everything is okay!

I have some cramps too, not strong enought to stop me from doing things but they are painful. Maybe check with your doctor/midwife if it concerns you?
