5 weeks pregnant with pains

[Leahhall]

Hi have just found out I am 5weeks+ pregnant with my 3rd.. as it's quiet a big age gap I am getting to know all about my body changing .
I am a little concerned about 1 thing, I have lower abdominal pain, it's more of a mild ache as though I'm just about to start my period. It's more in my left side.. is this normal or somthing to worry about please

I'm not an expert at all. I can only share my experience. I'm currently 15 weeks with my first and I suffered a lot with period like cramps early on. I was told cramps with no bleeding was normal. Unless pains were severe.

Good luck with your pregnancy x

Aw thanks hun. Loving the name btw.
Good luck with your pregnancy too

Yep - I've had the growing pains. Stopped for a while around weeks 10-15 and now I have them on and off at around week 19. Sometimes at the side, sometimes above, sometimes below. All a bit like a period pain. Only time pain is a bad thing is with bleeding or ectopic - I've been told.
