Cramps

Hey mums and mums to be's!

I'm in early stages of pregnancy - 6 weeks

I'm experiencing some cramps and lower back pain. I've previously misscarried so am already wary, the pain isn't excruciating but it is sore.

I understand cramping is normal and is to be expected in early pregnancy.

Did anyone suffer intense pains? Can anyone reassure me? 😣

I remember I had really strong cramps right in the beginning.. I’m now nearly 39 weeks and I was told some women get cramps when the embryo implants itself into the wall of the womb so think it’s all perfectly normal ☺️ Good luck! X

I'm currently 8+5 weeks and I've been having on and off cramps since about 3 dpo. Some are mild and others border on painful. Like period cramps which worries me a little. I'm just hoping there groaning pains. My body's stretching. I've heard a lot of people have had them throughout their first trimester and now have beautiful happy little bundles x

My sister is 9 weeks and went to a and e the other night because of intense cramps which woke her up. Everything was fine and baby is growing away nicely xx

I kept waking up with period-like cramps in the night in the first few weeks and was quite worried. I'm now 18 weeks and touchwood no issues...now onto round ligament pain instead, arghhhh

I found out I was 7 weeks last week, I had cramping so too myself to a&e and found out it was a water infection. But I previously miscarried, I'm just going by the water infection, try not worry yourself. X
