Cramps and pain early pregnancy

[LeahPaige]

Hi I'm just looking for any reassurance or similar situations if possible please....

I'm around 5 weeks pregnant and since 3/4 DPO I've been having daily cramps/pains in my lower back, tummy and sometimes in my sides. The pains move around to different places but they are pretty consistently there. They seemed to stop for a couple of days earlier this week and came back yesterday with a vengeance.

Last night they were so bad in my back that they woke me up at 3am for 2 hours.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Is it normal or should I be concerned?

Hi, I had period type pains in early pregnancy too I think it’s quite common. Luckily they don’t last through the whole pregnancy but I had a few sleepless nights too. Congratulations on your pregnancy !

Hey, congratulations on your pregnancy!
The pains you experienced are totally normal, I'm around 11 weeks at the moment and have been so stressed and every little pain that I've had 3 early scans so far, all show everything is as it should be

Sometimes they have gone and thn returned, and some days have been consistent a couple of days in a row.

Like you, I've also been up a couple of times in the night for hours panicking, currently awaiting hospital scan next week, it can't come quick enough!!
