Pretty intense cramping at 5 and a half weeks

[FaithEloise]

I am 5 and a half weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby. Last couple of days iv had cramping constantly, last night i couldn't even sleep as it hurt so much. Anyone else had this?

I had that at the weekend on one side (my right) and I was around 5 weeks. I started having brown spotting the last 2 days so fearing the worst x

Have u contacted the dr/midwife/epu?

Hi i had this from 5wks until 7wks now get it the odd time.got told it was my body changing,had a scan and everything was fine.
My pain was really bad down my left side it never went away was there all the time.u can use a heat pack or hot water bottle (midwife told me this) if your worried contact your dr x

Hi @FaithEloise I'm under a recurrent miscarriage clinic and also an ectopic clinic as my last pregnancy was a ruptured ectopic so I have a scan booked for next Wednesday as standard which would make me 6 weeks then. I did speak to them yesterday however I know from experience they won't be able to see much on a scan at 5 weeks to be conclusive either way and since the pain has now gone (was in pain Sunday-Tuesday) and the bleeding yesterday and today was brown they said to wait it out.

Have you tried ringing your EPU? X

Im sorry to hear that @miracleon13th :( i hope this pregnancy is a happy healthy one 💕 my pain isnt on one side its just all across the bottom of my belly a dull ache .. i thought my body would be used to changing as iv got a 3yr old and a 14 month old and didnt have cramps with them😔xx
