Disconcerting cramps in early pregnancy

[Iswallowtoothpaste]

I know I’m being silly and worrying about nothing but my god I’m sick to death of these cramps!!

I’m finally pregnant again after miscarrying in Dec 2015. Think I’m only around 4 weeks. Terrified of M/C again and I’m on edge and very tense about it all. These cramps (which I know are normal) really aren’t helping matters. They’re more like stretchy/need to fart cramps now but even so, they’re still worrying me.

Hi,

I'm just over 4 weeks, don't worry I feel exactly the same! Not mega painful just period pains, kid of heavy/tugging/pulling feeling.

There's a thread with a few of us on called 'newbie to the pregnancy board!' If you scroll through recent pregnancy posts you'll find it, we're all around 3/4/5 weeks so going through the same stuff it's been helpful to talk about symptoms and realise everyone else is feeling them too x

I’m guessing I’m around 4 weeks. These pains are lasting on and off all day. Doing nothing at all for my nerves. Yeah these are like period cramps but definitely have more of a ‘stretching’ ‘pulling’ feeling that usual.

Thank you! I’ll have a look.

Hi :-) I had a lot of cramps too and really stressed that my period was coming! They stopped at about 5 and a half weeks (I’m now nearly 8) so don’t worry too much :-) it’s so hard though isn’t it! I panicked at every twinge! And now when I have a day with no symptoms or not a lot that worries me too! Haha guess we will be anxious for our little bean the whole way through!

It’s such a scary time.

I had cramps with DD, in fact I was so sure I was about to come on that I actually bought pads an tampons haha. I also had a very small bleed with her too.

Hopefully We’re all worrying over nothing and just need a good fart lol

Yeah it will be nothing :-) my midwife laughed when I mentioned it to her and said it’s one of the most common worries for early pregnant mothers! I’m now dealing with sore boobs and sickness so that’s something to look forward to ;-) feel like I had a wild night out last night and unfortunately I didn’t! Ha!

My boobs are sore on and off, not so much today so that’s worrying me too.

Just praying that this little one stays put and that these next 8 weeks fly by!
