Cramping in early pregnancy

6 replies

Hi ladies. I'm 5 + 6 and I have had 1 MC and one ectopic pregnancy. I've just had a really bad cramp low down in my uterus a bit like period pains. No bleeding (yet) but obv I'm anxious AF.

My previous losses I had no cramps until I started bleeding but with the ectopic I had cramping once I was bleeding heavily.

Obviously I'm all over the place whether it's normal or not 😭😭😭

I ended up in hospital I was in so much pain with my cramps. I'm now 37 +5 weeks.
Cramping is perfectly normal in early stage pregnancy, but as you may know it can be something more sinister.
If you're not bleeding I would say you're ok, but do speak with your EPAULET or your GP if you are worried.
I would imagine given your history they will keep quite a close eye on you 💐💐

That was supposed say EPAU 🤦🏻‍♀️

@lockdownpregnancy thank you for your reply (love your username by the way 😊)
I'm just incredibly anxious about it. I'm hoping that it will not occur again but if it does I will do as you suggest and go to the EPU.

This is just so stressful!!!! All these adverts of women serenely smiling, stroking their bump are just BULLSHIT 😂😂😂

I had very similar pain and called my doctor, was referred to EPU where they found a large cyst on one of my ovaries. Give them a call if you think it'll give reassurance! No bleeding is a good sign though xx

@Tinks123 thanks for your reply. It's gone now and it just feels tender. Still no bleeding (fingers crossed) so I'm hoping it is just some pregnancy stretching related pain x

@Gemc81 your post made me chuckle! It is bullshit about it looking so serene and all lovely! 😂😂
For the most part it is an amazing experience but the first and third trimester are absolute treats on the body and mind! 🤪🤪🤪
Cherish the second trimester once you get there as that's when most pregnant ladies look their best! 😝😝😝
