Cramping

Is it normal to have cramping so much? Never had this with my other pregnancies.
and I’m only 10 dpo with a very strong line and positive Digital.
never had period pains so can’t really compare it.
mil says it could be uterus growing and preparing, but what’s it preparing for a blooming elephant 😂😅

Yes I've had quite a bit. Although the worst was with my twins....😁 It was so bad I actually thought on my first scan they'd say it was ectopic. So quite a nice suprise to see two healthy beans.
I've had a fair bit of cramping this time. I'm 8/9 weeks and this was before Christmas but I keep cramping if I go for a walk.

Yes I did!

I get very bad period pains so wasn’t as bad as them, but certainly felt like the start of my period pains!

Had them SO badly for almost a week around 5 weeks with DD1. Had previously had a very traumatic miscarriage so I was absolutely convinced I was miscarrying again. But all was well, and I’m grateful every day.

@Pomegranatemum did you get any pinkish discharge if you don’t min me asking 🫣

Whilst cramping and a bit of light spotting is normal - severe cramps, sharp pains isn’t. It might be worth getting a HCG blood test to check things are going in the right direction if it continues

@Caffeinelover01 no I didn’t (don’t mind you asking at all!) x

It’s not severe cramps it’s jus normal cramping but there quite a lot maybe coz I have endometriosis and adenomyosis
