Hi all I’m new to this would appreciate your help.

I’m 4 +3 days Pregnant today. Having had 3 previous misscarridges.

A few days ago when my period was due I had all my symptoms like soar breasts, feeling tierd, headaches and yesterday I started having mild cramps period like which freaked me out.

Woke up with cramps today but no other symptoms they have all gone apart from feeling bloated.

Has any one else felt the same?

I think it’s normal I had cramps around that time but no other symptoms until I was a few weeks further along.

Hi @kateHarrison try not to worry, I didn't get many symptoms except tiredness before 6 weeks, I'm 7 +2 now and constantly sick!
I've had 5 miscarriages and I don't think the worry will go away till I have my baby in my arms.
Fingers crossed this wee one works out for you x

kateHarrison · 13/10/2020 08:45

@FallingStar hope this one is your rainbow baby so happy for you.

It’s so scary after a miscarriage every little thing seems scary and a google like mad. I had tierdness and everything up until yesterday it all went and the light cramps started.

@kateHarrison I’m not! Had my DD in May Smile

Cramps are absolutely normal in early pregnancy! For me, the cramps (which I often mistook for my period coming) were the first sign of pregnancy for all four of mine. The fact they feel just like period pains is nature's little joke, I think!

Northernlass101 · 13/10/2020 12:58

I'm 4 weeks 6 days and feel like someone is driving something into my uterus lower back hips and pelvis like a dull ache it comes and goes I've pretty much had it since last week!!!!

Keep stressing it's something wrong but it's a mix trapped wind I think with stretching pains!!

Doctors tomorrow anyway ❤️ best of luck ❤️ were like pregnancy buddies!

samlh · 13/10/2020 14:24

@kateHarrison I am also 4+3 and i'm exactly the same.

I am absolutely exhausted, having mild cramps and just generally feel crap.

This is my first so i'm paranoid about everything to be honest.

I have read that it's normal to have these symptoms :)

kateHarrison · 13/10/2020 20:56

@Snufkins aww congratulations that’s great news.

@samlh aww yhhh I think so to but what’s worrying me is at 4 weeks I had soar breast and tiredness and now I don’t feel anything at 4 +3 don’t feel pregnant just mild cramps nothing more feel so normal don’t no what’s happening it’s so scary this would be my first as well after 3 misscarridges.

@Northernlass101 yhhh it’s wierd my cramps are mild but on and off. Did you have any symptoms At the time
If your period due date and then they went? Mines all gone just cramps now and no pregnancy feeling .

@Somethingsnappy it’s so scary just hope everything goes well for us all ladies 👍🏻 best off luck to you all.

Congratulations OP. Your 4w symptoms sound just like mine.

I was sure my period was coming with the cramps.

Now 18+2

It really does get better after the 1st trimester ladies! Xxx

kateHarrison · 14/10/2020 07:47

@serialplanner congratulations so happy for you. Do you remember having symptoms on your period due date and then going after that week? Because that’s what happened to me and I don’t really feel pregnant where as in the week of my period I did? So confused. Just hoping for the best.

I'm feeling v tired about to have a nap and I have trapped wind gas bloated stomach 🥴

I would say I've been feeling this way since last Monday more so this week...

Some people though have hardly any symptoms up until 6 weeks! My best friend had 0 for 8 weeks!! She questioned if she was even pregnant so many times!! She is now 8 months pregnant

MrsM21 · 14/10/2020 14:53

@kateHarrison I’m 4 +5 today, I’ve had the same cramps on and off but it was definitely worse earlier on around 3-4 weeks I would say. I do still have sore boobs, tiredness and I tend to feel a bit sick in the evening but nothing too severe at the minute and there are definitely some days where I feel worse than others.
It’s so hard trying to relax about it! I’ve booked an early scan for 7 weeks so I’m hoping that will make me feel a bit better about it, I’m just trying to stay positive and make the most of not feeling too poorly. Time really drags though 🙄
Hopefully you’re just one of the lucky ones! Xx

samlh · 14/10/2020 16:02

@kateHarrison I woke up this morning and I don't feel tired, haven't been yawning my face off, no cramps, nothing apart from slightly tender nipples and a bit bloated.

It's strange how you can just go from feeling absolute pants to feeling almost human in 24 hours.

Please try not to worry too much xx

kateHarrison · 15/10/2020 08:03

Thanks ladies. You guys have reassured me. I did call the doctors and they did say if I have no bleeding it’s fine which I haven’t. Maybe the bang is a good egg lol just another 2 weeks to go before I can get a 6 weeks scan. Good luck all.

@kateHarrison sorry for the late reply

Yes exactly that period like symptoms for 2/3 days then boom nothing until sickness around week 7 from memory.

Wishing you all the luck xxxx

Isit2021yetplease · 20/10/2020 08:39

I am 4+6 now so slightly behind you guys - this is my (surpriseBlush) 3rd. Despite having done it twice before I still panic! I am exactly the same as you with symptoms being noticeable one day then completely gone the next. I have a scan booked a week on Thursday (terrified there will be more than one in there...!).
Struggling to get my head around it at the moment, tricky time as I want to get really into the idea and excited, but also aware it's such an early stage I don't want to get my hopes up.

Hey everyone 👋🏼

Just thought I would see if you were all ok after these cramps?

I am 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant after my 4th IVF transfer.

I keep getting these cramping pains on and off, mainly after I’ve been laying down (middle of the night) or for instance I’ve just had an afternoon nap and woken up in agony! It’s I believe worse than period cramps and makes me feel sick. Anyone else had the same?
