Cramping during early pregnancy

Ok, you girls are going to think Im a complete nut asking so many questions

but...

Its normal to have cramping at 4 weeks right? This is around the time AF is suppose to be here but obviously I am preggo because I took a test at 10DPO. Since yesterday Ive been having some mild cramping...no blood though. Please share your experiences and tell me this is normal

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

I still have some cramping and I am just about 8 weeks. It is normal to have light cramping.

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

Totally! I am 9 weeks and I still get it sometimes. I've also had spotting the whole pregnancy so far and I saw the bean last night and it was fine. Its totally natural to worry... Fear of the unknown can be so stressful. I would say just try to relax but I would be a total hypocrite since I haven't had a relaxing day since I got a BFP. Lol!

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

I had really bad cramps the couple of days right after I got my bfp...they only lasted a few days...now at 9 weeks I still get a little crampy but Im lucky not to have any morning sickness

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

Thank you again everyone! Please bare with me I am going to be a total nut! Cramping is very very mild and sometimes I dont feel anything at all. I am going to be so on edge up until my first sono appt

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

Yes, I had light cramping on and off in the very beginning.

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

Yes, I had cramping that felt exactly like period cramping. It lasted from about 9 dpo until I was 6 weeks pregnant or so. After that, it was a different kind of cramping, more like a dull tugging or pulling, and that lasted a couple more weeks.

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

Yes, but just be sure to have your progesterone levels checked. At about 7-8wks, I had cramping and one little spot of pink on the t.p. after already being on Prometrium, a progesterone supplement. I freaked out and called my doc crying. It turns out it was due to low progesterone levels, so my doc increased my dosage. He told me that the low levels explained my cramps. Feel better!

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

I'll be 8 wks on Monday. I had a ton of cramping from about 4-6 weeks. Not painful, but a lot and pretty constant. It started decreasing this week and I haven't had so much the past couple of days. HTH!

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

yup normal. I think i got cramps here and there until i was about 6 weeks when it finally stopped.

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

What a relief! Im so paronoid. Yea, the cramps are not unbearable yknow but any kind of cramps freak me out. Today they arent as bad.

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

just had to share how dumb i am lately i totally read the topic as "camping during early pregnancy"

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

As everyone said cramping is tottaly normal. I had cramping off and on my whole first trimester.

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

Hey sweetie!
I still have cramping and I am a whole SEVEN weeks lol..
no blood though which I am guessing is a good sign and if I read any more books I will go nuts finding out if every single thing is normal..

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

oh yes the phantom cramps, had those for awhile up until 10 wks.

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

I had a lot of crampy feelings during the 1st trimester...it's normal. As long as it's not unbearable and there is no spotting/bleeding, I would try to not worry!!!

I felt some cramping/pain 2nd trimester too because of round ligament pain/streching..all normal!

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

I had mild cramping all throughout both pregnancies...felt very similar to menstrual cramps Both my pregnancies were normal.

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy

I had AF-like cramps during the early weeks of both pregnancies.

Re: Cramping during early pregnancy
