Hi I got my bfp ten days ago. In the first few days after I was tired, bloated had slightly sore boobs.

Now today have started with very sore boobs and slight cramps mainly on the right but also right across. I've just read a million threads on the very subject but am worried as its just come on today?

Still very bloated and can "feel things' happening down there, just a little worried. I have a scan a week Friday.

Any reassuring words would be gratefully received.

Unless you are bleeding or in severe pain then I wouldn't worry. Cramps in early pregnancy are very common. x

Thanks Kitkat. Seems to have settled down for now. Appreciate your reply. :)

It sounds like you were a bit concerned about an ectopic - I've had one and I can tell you I never had "slight cramps" on the one side. It started with heavy spotting (5 days), then bleeding (3 days), then a sharp stabbing pain on my left side which lasted for several hours. Obviously everyone is different but I would think you are safe!

I'm pregnant again (5+1) and have been having cramps too - from what I've read they're extremely normal, so I'm trying to keep positive!
