Hi all I am 5 weeks pregnant and since I found out I have had awful cramps and back pain like I am coming on. I also have the worst constipation.

Can anyone tell me if this is normal????

I am petrified something maybe wrong with the baby :-(

All normal - things are starting to stretch and shift down there, and your digestion slows down which frequently causes constipation (personally I get the opposite problem...). Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

Completely normal, 10+6 here and still getting the odd 'I'm going to start my period feeling'.
Congratulations btw! Flowers
