Still getting awful period type pains

[Starlight84]

Hi all. I’m still experiencing dull lower back and tummy pains and sore boobs like I’m due to come on. I’m about 5 weeks pregnant. I was due on on the 4th may so I’m hoping it’s just because it’s around the time I’d have come on? Anyone else experience this? Thank you xx

I had terrible cramps that would wake me up until 8-9 weeks. Some people's last longer. It's totally normal.

It's because everything is stretching and growing, it just feels like period cramps because it's all the same location/muscles/ligaments affected.

Really normal at this point. Sorry it's worrying you, maybe take it a bit easy. As pp said its things moving and stretching and settling in. I hope it calms down soon, mine lasted until around 7 weeks.

I had the worst period type pains for the first 9 weeks, I'd never been pregnant before so I was terrified it was my period coming then a miscarriage but I'm 19 weeks now with a healthy boy, it's normal! I worried more when the cramps stopped 😂

Thanks ladies! My youngest child starts high school soon so this is literally like starting all over again! I can’t remember from last time around 🤣 xx
