Lots of twinges, now stopped :(

[Elz1406]

I am about 5+3 and last week had a couple of days where I had lots and lots of little sharp pains and pinching all around my uterus area. Was told this was normal and just stuff settling in. Well that completely stopped and for the last few days I've been able to feel next to nothing in my uterus, not even really any cramps. Has anyone else had stuff just go like this? I know there's nothing I can do about it anyway but it doesn't do anything to help the anxiety! Thanks <3

Totally normal to get things like this on and off throughout the first trimester as everything settles and implants, placenta grows etc. same with all pregnancy symptoms. Some people get nothing, some are constant and some have symptoms come and go. It’s all completely normal and not a sign of anything bad. If you have heavy bleeding or severe pain especially on one side then call the midwife. Otherwise try to relax a little (easier said then done I know)

Thank you 😊 I'm trying to be chilled out and take a what will be will be attitude but beginning to think that's not really possible and it's better to just be honest that early pregnancy is basically quite awful as you're always just waiting to find out whether you're going to be one of the lucky ones!

I think my twinges stopped between 5 and 6 weeks too! I’d still have one or two but nowhere near as much as 4/5 weeks. Now 7 weeks and don’t get twinges! X

Yes this happened to me too. I was feeling reassured by the twinges / mild cramping during week 5 and then they suddenly went away and I felt completely normal until week 7 when the sickness began

I know this is an old post but just wondering how you got on? I'm on this exact same situation, all my twinges and heavy feelings have gone. I've hardly slept the last 2 nights trying to see if I can feel anything but nada

Hi, I now have a 10 month old, all was well! Really hope all was well with you - it's such a confusing time!xx
