Cramps everyday for over 2 weeks

[Jewel89]

Im 5 half weeks pregnant, and been suffering with really bad lower intense period cramps and lower back cramps.

They come in waves and peak with the pain being quite severe

Drs have felt my stomach and given me cocodomol for the pain. Alot of websites say that these pains should only last a few days.

I have had these for 2 weeks now, and it hits me everyday.
No bleeding or unusual symptoms just the pain

Advice or anyone had the same?

I would personally ask if they can scan you at six weeks just to check where the pregnancy is and to ensure everything is growing as should

but, yes, unfortunately, I have had bad cramps in both this pregnancy and the one with my son. I don’t know why they say it last a few days because mine lasted weeks.

I had cramps up until 8w. I'm 9w 3d now and they've mostly stopped. It's your uterus stretching due to the progesterone.

I had severe trapped wind which were on a par with labour cramps. Could it be this? Worth double checking your diet x

My midwife told me to not worry if there's no bleeding or itching x

I had bad cramps for the first week or 2 contact your gp and your midwife it could be due to thrush i had this and had no other symptoms other than cramping and slight spotting

With my first pregnancy, I had constant period like cramps for the first trimester. Midwife said it's due to uterus expanding. Second pregnancy, I had on and off cramps but it was more intense. I had a scan for both pregnancy at around 8 weeks due to bleeding so no harm getting yourself checked for peace of mind

period cramps were one of my first symptoms of pregnancy - it is soo scary but can be 100% normal.

I definitely had them for a couple of weeks.
