Early pregnancy and bad cramps.

[Charotte31]

I'm only 4+1 and I'm having bad cramps and really sharp stabbing pains. Does this just sound like settling in pains? I don't remember having them this bad before.
I had 3 mc a few years ago so I'm probably just thinking the worst!

It is normal hun, if you get bleeding, shoulder pain or rectal pain go to nearest hospital as could be ectopic. I am 5+ 4 weeks, had quite a bit of pain but hcg rising xxxx

Thanks rabbit! I'm sure it is normal just scary. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well xx

I've had two mcs. Both were missed mcs and only dx at scans. Also had two normal pregnancies - pain, feeling periody, a bit of spotting (implantation) resulted in two dcs. All sorts of twinges in first cou

Oops - couple of months :)

Ok thanks peppa! Good to know x

I had about a week or two of this, I ended up going in for an early scan because I had no idea what was going on. Everything was fine, but at the time it had me in a panic, would curl up crying my eyes out for 10 mins and then be fine again.. I used have really bad period pain and it felt a bit like that, I figure it was something to do with my insides being a bit rubbish with certain things. Hope everything is ok x

Thanks nanny. It was really bad in bad last night. Bit worrying but just trying to keep carm!

I would get it checked out- some cramps are ok, but they shouldn't be very severe. Getting seen at EPU will give you peace of mind and mean you're not under the stress of worrying x

I had periody pains between 4 and 8 weeks allllllllll of the time and was in the EPU twice because of it (have had a MMC, MC and ectopic) everything was fine. I was found to have a couple or ovarian cysts which probably wasn't helping the pain and it was settling pain and stretching I think. I'm now 11 weeks and sitting here currently with belly ache. Have had scans at 6 weeks and 9 weeks and everything is fine xx
