Advice needed

[bexspency]

Hi there, been having extreme lower abdominal cramping every night for about two weeks now (to the point where I’m lying on the floor sweating) lasting around 15 minutes per night and mild cramp most of the day! Took a test today to find out I am pregnant, worried that there is something wrong as such severe pain? Any advice would be much appreciated x

congratulations do you know how many weeks you are? if you've found out very early it might be something not related to pregnancy so i would go to see your gp just to check

congrats! i had exactly this very early on, after AF was due but before i had taken any tests. i’m
now 32+1 and have had a relatively comfortable pregnancy so far. felt like the worst period cramps i had ever felt and continued until about 7/8 weeks waking up in the night etc. if you’re happy
to take some paracetamol at a low dose, that helped me but as PP said, best to make an appointment with your doc, even just to ease your mind a bit!

Hi there and Congratulations!

I also had this early on (within first 7 weeks) and was super worried so my GP booked me in for an early scan to out ny mind at ease. Everything was fine and the lovely ultrasound ladies said it's usual to have pain as can just be uterus and muscles getting used to being pregnant etc.

If it really is bad and more predominant on one side I would give 111 a call just because it could be an ectopic pregnancy

Definitely make an appointment with your GP to rule out ectopic pregnancy. Hope it's nothing serious, oh and congratulations!

Thank you all- period is 3 weeks late so not sure exactly how many weeks I am as of yet! Will be attending hospital tomorrow to see the early pregnancy dept so hopefully they can let me know everything is ok! Wasn’t planned at all but a nice shock lol! Waking up during night with the pain so just worried it isn’t anything bad X

Oh bless you. Hope it goes well lovely

Congratulations bexspency
Sounds like you might be 5 weeks pregnant now as from the day your period is due you are already considered 2weeks pregnant. I hope everything is ok it could be that your body is coming to terms with the pregnancy. Women go through so many changes some not all the same. For instance I have awful itchy nipples i am 12 weeks now i had this also with my daughter but every time I research i just see things about breasts being sore which mines ain't they are just itchy as hell lol. Every pregnancy is different and our bodies react differently. Try not to worry hun hope all goes well tomorrow 🤗 x
