7+5 weeks & period-like feeling

Hi everyone. I'm a bit freaked out. Woke up this morning to a feeling like my period was about to come. It's NOT cramping, I'd prefer it if it was because I could easily blame it on stretching. It's that heavy fullness feeling in the uterus. Such a familiar feeling that usually comes for me a day before a bleed.

I'm not due to miss my second period for another four or five days, so I don't know if I can blame it on that.

One of the times I miscarried I felt this sensation then my cervix open, which was awful. So I'm worried.

Anyone else feel this?

Morning, I had this up until about 9 weeks am now 11. About 3 days before and a week after I got my positive clear blues I could of swore blind I was going to come on. Am 11 weeks now and have had healthy scans and all is fine.

Thanks @Flowerbug1994. That's really helpful to know. This full pressure feeling is normally my reminder to make sure I've got tampons in! Sorry if TMI, but I did notice an increased about of clear CM this morning so it may have been that. I hope so.

I was exactly the same I from what I work out was 3 weeks to about 8 weeks I had tons of discharge which I kept thinking was blood or something and when I needed an internal exam at 5 weeks she told me I had lots of discharge around my cervix which made sense. There is so much that happens down there which is common in pregnancy that isn’t spoken about I’ve had brown spotting at 6 weeks, pink spotting at 7 weeks and had a red bleed followed by brown bleed last week at 10 weeks. And all is fine with baby I’ve seen and heard heart beat. It’s like a battle to get to them safe 12 week.

I had that heavy feeling in the early stages of all three of my pregnancies, so I think it's normal. In my first I was really worried I was going to start bleeding and kept running to the bathroom to check, but all was well.
