Hi!

I am 4+1 weeks pregnant , after suffering a chemical miscarriage in June I am petrified with every cramp I am getting!

did anyone else have constant cramps in early pregnancy- they are not very painful at all, but I can feel them there and it is getting me so anxious. I did a clear blue how many weeks test and it’s gone up to 2-3 which is giving me some reassurance but I am still so anxious and wondering wether my anxiety is causing the cramps!

please share your experience with early cramps and if any of you had constant but mild cramps!

thanks ! :)

With my first I had some horrible cramps, a few I actually took paracetamol for they were so bad. Like an aching, stretching feeling. I'd had a miscarriage previously too and was so scared, I remember spending one weekend in bed with cramps just thinking the worst the whole time. She's 4 now!

Please try not to worry it can definitely be normal for some of us, my midwife said it's just your baby snuggling in, which helped me a bit.

Hi. How are you getting on now?

I'm 4 weeks today and have constant cramps or aches 😔

Hey hun @AlexandraPaige , congratulations first of all!

oh god I know how you feel the constant worry and anxiety. Happy to report I will be 12 weeks on Sunday :). Cramps went around 8 weeks - they can be completely normal . Just keep an eye out for bleeding- if you can afford it I would recommend getting a private scan at 6 weeks.

I did tests everyday to watch my line get darker on the paper strips until i got my dye stealer- it seems obsessive but helped with my anxiety!

Hope it all goes well for you keep us posted! :)

@AAK1 congratulations!

Thanks. I've got a scan with EPU next week but I'll only be 5+2.

I've been testing lots too. My line is getting darker but still feel so worried.

@AlexandraPaige thankyou!
that’s a good sign! It’s easier said than done but just try to relax. Next week will be here in no time.
hope it all goes well!

I had constant cramps the first 2 weeks after bfp. It was annoying but I thought at least it proved something was in there!
