No cramping 11 weeks

[cactus123]

Hi guys, me again! Sorry for all the topics, but you lot are good at reassuring me so I can't help myself!!

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have symptoms like sore boobs (although not as bad as they used to be!) but they haven't really grown at all! I have bad all day sickness for the majority of the time, and smells of everything make me feel sick, I also have no appetite. However, I've had pretty much no cramping at all!! I thought you were meant to have some cramping due to ligaments stretching etc? I'm really quite slim so I thought I definitely would have had more cramping? Is this normal or not?

Thanks!!

Yes, it's normal! If you were having cramps you'd be on here worrying it was a bad sign!

Pregnant women can be neurotic (I include myself in this camp). We worry about having symptoms, we worry about not having them, we worry about whether our symptoms are too strong or at the wrong time. If we have few symptoms we think we've lost the baby, if we have a lot we think we're having twins. It's exhausting an bonkers, but IME if you're a pregnant worrier there is little you can do to make yourself calm down, you just have to try not to annoy everyone around you too much!

I really hope everything goes well for you, which statistically speaking, it will. If you get any clear signs that something might be wrong (blood, really bad cramps, dehydration through vomiting) then see your GP or midwife, but otherwise try to keep the faith that all is well :)

Haha, you are so right!! I try to keep it as much as I can to here to annoy you guys, rather than everyone around me hehe! It is so difficult not to worry about everything, but although it's horrible, I'm grateful for the morning sickness to reassure me a bit! I've got my scan on Tuesday as well, and had one at 6 weeks and saw the heartbeat so fingers crossed! :)

Thank you so much for the reassurance!
