mild period type pains in v v early pregnancy

[alittlebitshy]

I found out yesterday I am pregnant (5 weeks on Thurs i think).

Is it normal to feel mild period like pains? I am paranoid because i keep reading mixed views????
When I was pg with my dd 4 and a half years ago I didn't find out til I was over 7 weeks pregnant so I have no memory at all of any sensations (if any).

As dd was a surprise, this whole ttc thing has been a bit of a shock (only taken 4 months - and i'm still only 5 months post depo so, i'm surprised and chuffed) and as a result I am so much more scared about it all... I'm terrified of something going wrong

Congratulations!! It is entirely normal as it is your womb starting to shift about and getting ready to expand. I still rushed to the toilet every 5 mins though! I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Congratulations! Yes, I had the same thing in all 3 pregnancies. Good luck.

congratulations from me too !

it is normal, and not neccesarily an indication of anything sinister....as has been said.. x

gpd yes, i'm back and forth to the loo muttering "please god no blood please god no blood" like a mantra

This was the month I "ideally" wanted, just cos this way our dc2 will be exactly (give or take)a year younger than his/her cousin!!!!! so I can't beleive it has happened and i am feeling so scared it won;t stick.

when pg with dd i never really went on any web sites so i now know so much more and it scares me!!!

aw thanks guys

quite, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, can;t it !

you relax, take care and enjoy, and i wish you all the very best x

Congratulations! The internet can be a real mixed blessing when you're pregnant..actually, at any time come to think of it. It's too easy at times to find what you both want and don't want to hear. Don't do what I did, and terrify yourself for the whole 9 months!

I had this too
Congratulations

and when does it tend to stop???

I'm awaiting the yukky ms in a few weeks. I was v poorly with dd although in a horrid job (well horrid boss) so the stress may have contributed

the first few weeks are achey ,crampy , sicky, nauseous, and often quite icky while the pregnancy establishes and the hormonal changes go mad ! things do settle down, just depends, each pregnancy can be so different.

oh and guess what? I'm going to have to give up my precious take that tickets lol. I'm due (by my dates) on 22nd nov and i have tickets for 29th nov. how funny

oooh...you can sell them on ebay and buy something lovely for the baby !

It is normal and I at almost 15 weeks still get them. It's only a problem if they are very severe and come with heavy bleeding.

Good luck and enjoy getting fat!!!!

congratulations alittlebitshy! Great news

and yes I think it is normal

good plan to sell the Take That tickets on Ebay - you will be able to buy something lovely

congratulations
Don't worry i had really bad period pains for the first two weeks with my pregnacy and my dd is 2 now !! xxxxxx

Congratulations!! . Im almost 9 weeks and still got the odd period type pain now and again.

Thanks all.

I was a bit pukey this morning . surely it's a bit early? waaaaaaaah!!! Can you be sick simply by thining about it lol.

also i need help oh wise ones..... i've never sold on ebay. how do i do it? will it cost me? and also what about the fact that I won't even get the tickets until a few days before the gig, in all likelihood?

ALBS..my morning sickness started week 5 with DS and week 7 with DD

stock up on ginger ale and dry crackers!

ask about the tickets on the ebay board here x

how shameful - i've been here 2 years and wasn't aware of an ebay board

oooooh. i was sick from 7-8 weeks with dd... hmm, abds cogs start whirring... boy? girl?
hmm...

i think i may be due on the same date as you (all being well and all that) 5 weeks on Thursday. Hope all goes well for you and the niggly pains go

yep i had these in early pregnancy with both my pregnancys its perfectly normal but you worry i know i did,
congratulations on your pregnancy good luck.
