1st Trimester Cramps

[Digger1987]

So im on week 5 of my pregnancy and I've started experiencing cramps. Now they are only mild and feel like period cramps. I've got no spotting but do have a bit of diarrhea. I spoke a nurse who said nothing to worry about but to go back if they get worse or become more apparent on one side. It's only been 2 hours since I saw her but now I feel like the pain is more focused on the right side. But is it in my head. This is my first pregnancy and I'm freaking at every twinge or cramp. I'm so worried about eptopic pregnancy

I’m 6 weeks snd have had exactly the same thing, everyone who I spoke to said it was completely normally. It’s scary isn’t it but my midwife said it was just everything stretching!x

It is. I worry about every twinge or pull I get. I've had cramps on and off for 3 days now but it just feels like period cramps. I think I'll be fine once I've had my first scan and I can see that the baby is doing OK

How long do 1st trimester cramps last for?

I'm 9+3 and still have the odd cramp every now and then! I've just been told it's everything stretching inside to make room for the baby! X

Im at 5 weeks and have 2-3 mild to moderate, period-like, short stabby cramps usually to my left but sometimes middle and right. This only lasts for a few seconds and goes away if I move, stretch or go to the toilet. I have no traces of any spotting and am trying to keep level headed. So difficult though. I haven't spoken to any nurses or drs yet but will if they get any worse or more frequent.

hi. I've been almost exactly the same. I'm 5+6 weeks and feel like im not enjoying being pregnant because these cramps are so horrible. usually on the left but not always. I even had a scan the other day I was that worried. Its definitely not an ectopic as they could see the gestational sac and the yolk sac but no hb yet as too early so I have another scan on Friday. I'm scared silly that I'm having a mc and everytime I tell my husband how I'm feeling he just says 'you'll be fine' he won't even consider that something could be wrong. ueghhhh I'm just not enjoying this pregnancy as much as I thought I would xxxx
