early pregnancy cramps

Hi everyone. I just got my BFP on Sunday so I'm just about 4 weeks and 5 days now!!

I'm still very nervous to even talk too much about it because we have a long way to go before we get to the "safe zone" BUT I've been a little worried because I've been getting abdominal cramps since I found out. They feel like mild period cramps, but no bleeding or spotting thank God!! Is this normal?

I'm trying to stay off google because I know i'll get myself crazy if I google it, so I figured I'd ask here.

Anyone experience cramps during very early pregnancy? Should I call the doctor?

Re: early pregnancy cramps

I am 4 wks 3 days and I've had some very slight twinges of pain and slight intermitent cramps as well. I've been told that it's normal

Re: early pregnancy cramps

totally normal.

Re: early pregnancy cramps

totally normal i had them my entire 1st trimester with my son and now at 7.5 weeks, I still feel like I am about to get my period at any moment.

Re: early pregnancy cramps

I'm just about 29 weeks but for the first 4-6 weeks I had plenty of cramping. I had cramping basically until the morning sickness started getting really bad. Implantation is a lonnnnng process. People think it's an instant thing but the entire thing takes at least a week and then the little bean is still getting situated and so is your uterus. I even had pain from the corpus luteum being swollen... Those first several weeks you will feel plenty of odd stuff and it is completely normal.

Thanks ladies, I feel better already. it's just driving me crazy because every time I go to the bathroom I cringe because these cramps make me feel like i'm gonna see my period.

Re: early pregnancy cramps

I'd say normal. I had lots of cramping with DD and some cramps this time too. If it's severe though or you have spotting I'd call the doctor.

Re: early pregnancy cramps

I could have wrote this post 7 months ago! I had pretty severe cramping for the first 2 months of my pregnancy. Even now at almost 8 months I still feel some mild cramping. I have felt this all along. My dr told me to drink plenty of water and stay off your feet when you can.

Congratulations!

Re: early pregnancy cramps

I had AF like cramps that were pretty bad at times. They lasted until about 6-7 weeks.

Re: early pregnancy cramps

With DS I had them really bad starting at 6-8 weeks to the point that my Dr thought I was having an ectopic preg. But all was normal! Good luck and a healthy 9 months to you!

Re: early pregnancy cramps

Re: early pregnancy cramps

Re: early pregnancy cramps

I had cramps like AF was coming until about 8/9 weeks. I also had and still have twigy cramps on and off. They have lessened over time but I still get them if I do too much.
