Please reassure me with your reassuring stories of cramping in early pregnancy

[BunloafAndCrumpets]

Am only 4+2 after a mc at 9w. Have got darkening preg tests every day and nausea and sore boobs. Have also got period pains that I can’t ignore. Is this ever normal?

Thank you for the update :-) you just popped up in my feed and it was exactly what I was worrying about myself :-) so nice to be reassured and to hear a positive story ! I need to put down the tests and try and enjoy this pregnancy! All the best for you and your little boy :-) xxxx

I think a degree of cramping is very normal. My first pregnancy, I had frequent “period-type” cramps through to about 13 weeks... and implantation bleeding that TERRIFIED me! All was well though. This pregnancy I’m at 11.5 weeks. I’ve had a bit less cramping but, weirdly, get painful twinges whenever I stand up. There’s a lot going on in our bodies... I guess we should expect a degree of discomfort! If anything I try to remind myself whenever I’m sore or nauseous that it’s actually a GOOD sign... I’m clearly still pregnant!
