Early pregnancy niggles around 5-6 weeks

[Ellou89]

Found out I'm pregnant with baby no 2 so excited! However I feel like I've forgotten about anything pregnancy related haha
I'm having like period cramps and lower back ache is this normal?! For this stage?!
I get the occasional stabbing pain on my left abdominal side but not always many thanks if people can let me know there thoughts Emma xx

Had all this - think it's very common

Thank you just peace of mind reading it rather than googling! X

I'm having the same also. Along with some brown spotting for last week or so which my epu have told me is normal too (did have an early scan at 5 weeks which seemed ok, another scheduled for 8)

I am 4 + 1 now and I have had mild AF like cramps for about 4 days now. No spotting. I have some back aches too. I even had car sickness like nausea for about 4 days last week. From what I have read its all very normal. I am still taking HPTs to keep myself calm and the lines are only getting stronger and my AF never arrived so I take that as a good thing.

Thanks everyone. According to drs it's just as implanting pain all normal for this stage. And as I haven't had to bleeding am not to worry but just feels weird having period related pain! I never had it with my first but I found out with her when I was about 9 weeks. X
