Early pregnancy pain tips

[CatG85]

So just joined as wanted advice from others mums or mums to be.

I'm in early pregnancy (6 weeks) and been having a lot of pain since just before I found out. The pains can come and go at all times and feel like period pains but stronger, varying in levels of intensity. Some pass in minutes and others take around 15-20 to go. Hot water bottles seem to help.
I had a scan at EPU on Saturday after local maternity told me to go A&E to check it wasn't ectopic and thank God it wasn't (am back tomorrow for another as the scan wouldn't register on the system last week) but I'm still getting the pain and morning sickness has kicked in too (nausea only so far).
I have seen a lot of posts about others having the same issues and being advised it's just the uterus stretching but I was wondering if anyone had any other tips on reducing or dealing with it or can tell me how long it roughly lasts?

TIA

Ohh ok at least you have some answers which is good!!
I'm the same, the night before last I was woken by the need to pee directly followed by another horrible cramp that lasted about 15-20 minutes so was all prepared for more last night thinking they'd flared up again but no, actually slept through! I'm glad yours are feeling better too!
Oooh maybe! I fee like I have too but I think it's more bloating! haha

So I can confirm the severe pains all stopped about 2 weeks ago! It's been such a relief. I still have some mild cramps on occasions and a lot of what feels like pulled muscles but it's so nice not to have the other ones haha!
Hope everyone else is doing well. :-)

Glad to hear that @CatG85!
