I recently found out I am pregnant, and it was definitely a surprise. We weren't trying are just getting over the shock of the news. I feel like as it was unplanned I am completely oblivious about so many things that will happen during pregnancy.
One that is confusing me is my only real symptom so far seems to be cramping. Throughout the day I experience quite moderate cramping and lower back pain. From what I gather, mild cramping is normal.
It happens several times a day and at night, lasts about 10 to 20 mins. I am a bit nervous about it as even though I am only 6 weeks, due to the nature of my job I intend to tell my boss so I can be moved to a more suitable work placement.
Has anyone else experienced similar cramping/lower back pain? Is it normal or should I be cautious?
