5 weeks pregnant Question

Hello, everyone, I am a new member of the site. I just found out that I am five weeks pregnant. I was wondering if any of you could tell me whether this is normal. I have been having some abdominal cramping, very similar to if I was going to get my period. Has anyone else experienced this? I have a doctor's appointment, they told me to wait until 9/14 so I just wanted to find out in the meantime if this is expected. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much, everyone! I thought it was weird that my dr. said not to come until I am 8 weeks, they said they can't hear the heartbeat or see a sono yet. I am nervous, hope baby is ok, this is my first time. It helps to know that the cramping is normal!

Yes, in the beginning I had intense cramping... mostly at 3AMChat Icon It's just your uterus slowly expanding.

Re: 5 weeks pregnant Question

Very very normal. I had it and still do at tmes. But as long as it doesnt make u fall over or make u feel like u cant function its ok. My cramping has subsided a little bit. But like 1 week 1/2 ago i got that bad at night.

And my first doc appt is sept. 15th where i will be 8 weeks. its normal for the doc to see u then if u are not high risk.
