5 weeks pregnant today and I’ve been having normal twinges/mild cramps since I found out but 2 nights ago I woke up at 3am to quite bad period pain cramps but definitely not double over in pain type ones.
I’ve had no bleeding and no bad cramps since but just a little worried this isn’t normal?

Yes can be very normal. All the way through. Congrats. Try not to worry - I know it’s hard. Expect lots of twinges

Thanks for the reply! My first pregnancy so anxiety is high haha. I haven’t minded the twinges (maybe because it lets me know something is happening) just the one bad cramp I was worried about, thanks for the reassurance !

Yep cramps, then it was round ligament pain (excruciating), then Braxton Hicks (weirdly satisfying and I maintain they contribute to a fast labour). I always had the full works.

Same here, I found out 2 days ago and I’m 5 weeks. I only had spotting near my period. I now have a little sickness and mild cramps
