I was wondering if anyone can help me? I’m 4 weeks 6 days pregnant and for the past week I’ve had bad intense cramping that lasts about 10/15 mins possibly longer, that comes and goes away. When it comes on it’s intense at the front of my pelvic area then it radiates through to my back and I get pains down my thighs, it’s now started giving me cramping on my left side only but still radiating to my back and thighs and no matter what position I put myself in it doesn’t ease up, it’s like a period cramp times 100. It’s taking my breath away making me sweat and had me crying it’s that bad. Too start with it was coming on everything 4-6 hours then easing up but now it’s more frequent (about every 2 hours) and is waking me up during the night from a sleep.
I spoke to my GP and midwife and they both said it’s natural as it’s my ligaments ect all changing and that if I have any bleeding/shoulder pain or it becomes constant then I’ve to call NHS 111. I really don’t know what to do or what it can be but it’s agonising. Has anyone every experienced anything like this and if so was everything ok?
I really need peace of mind, I’m currently waiting on the pregnancy unit calling me back.
