Cramps at 6+3

I am 6+3 today and have had quite noticeable cramps today. Has anyone else had this?

I've had 2 MCs and one CP this year so am really anxious. I have a scan next week but looking for reassurance in the meantime x

I'm 6+1 and I've had cramps on and off for the last two weeks. In my case I do know all is well as I've been scanned.
The epu have basically said not to worry enless I have bleeding too.
I think a lot of it is the body changing

Cramps that feel like period pain are quite common early on, it's the surge in hormones and your uterus stretching.

I had them from about 6-8 weeks! Congratulations, hope you have much better luck this time

I always think it's a shit game that the body likes to play during the 2WW. Sore boobs? Mood swings? Cramps? Are you pregnant? Is it PMT? Is it perimenopause? Who knows! That's the fun!

I mean really, you'd think the symptoms could be different...!

I would get period pain like cramps and the odd stabbing pain but all seems to have settled now at 16weeks. Please try not to worry xxx

I have been getting cramps/twinges for the last few days and I am about four weeks. Think it is just the body adapting :) You can always ring your GP if you're worried and if they think it is a point for concern, they will call you in.

Thank you all so much. This is all so reassuring especially since my sickness completely went away today too so am clingy to this thread as hope. Thanks everyone

It's common for sickness to come in waves.
You'll be sick as a pig tomorrow

Honestly, sickness and other symptoms are absolutely no measure of what is happening. I had zero symptoms and was fine (went around grabbing my boobs to see if they felt sore like some kind of perv!); a friend was sick as a dog and v sadly was not. It's just about how your body reacts to the hormones and no more - so don't think about it. Just relax as much as you can
