13DPO, BFP and cramping

[Megzj91]

So I had my first positive 8DPO and each day got darker and was confirmed by a digital last night. I’ve got some cramping. Nothing major and it’s quite low. Is it normal to have mild period style cramps during first few weeks? Thanks!

Yes, absolutely normal in my experience. I had really severe cramps with my first for around a week, less severe with my second but still lots of cramping.

It’s really disconcerting though isn’t it cause it makes you feel like you’re about to get your period.

Yes definitely. I’m trying to not get so anxious but it’s really hard

Those first few weeks are really unsettling aren’t they, try to keep busy and distracted and you’ll hopefully start to feel a little less anxious every day that passes.
Congrats on your BFP!

That's all I had for the first 8 week - really low period like cramps - shouldn't be anything to worry about! Congrats!

Thank you so much 😊
