Hi i'm pg with my 4th and also 7 weeks and having mild cramps same as you. I know my baby is ok as I had an early scan last week and saw the hb. It's perfectly normal to have mild cramps, my stomach also feels heavy. Try not to worry, easier said than done I know. Congratulations.

I had this too. I didn't with first baby but am PG now and had period pain that felt like it was behind my belly button.

Pain was so bad a few times that I had to go and check I hadn't started bleeding.

I did have a few small bleeds too but everything was fine.

I'm now 30wks PG.

I think it is just your bady stretching and you can ache if it's the time of your period and stuff.

I know it's scary but you're body will soon tell you if something serious is wrong.

Good luck

Hi I am new to this site. Had my 1st child 8 years ago and I am about 6/7 weeks now with 2nd...it's like learning all over again.

I have noticed slight cramp pains on and off though, but it is usually when I have wind or constipation, I have IBS anyway and these hormone changes do not help!!

I am not worried too much, and I am thankful I have read all your responses.

Good luck everyone x

im 40+3 weeks pregnant, and have to say the 1st trimester was the worst for me, in the way of stomach cramps, and feeling bloated.

its all normal, and please dont worry

congrats all who are pregnant and goodluck x

tessofthedurbervilles · 04/05/2009 21:31

I had period cramps at 6 weeks - was convinced it was my period (unplanned pg) and was even using tampons and towels as was convinced was coming on. Only when I threw up at the smell of curry sauce and chips did I chuck out the tampax and buy a clear blue!

hannahlouiseb - I am 5+3 and have this also, it comes and goes, depending on what I'm doing, and also with a young toddler, whether I have time to notice!

Hope your scan goes well.

It went well i think! it turns out my nurse was wrong. Im only 4 weeks i had a blood test to see if it was eptopic or if i had a water infection had my results this morning and its not eptopic and i dont have a water infection so im going for another scan on friday it's in the uterus so its all looking good i think. i have no idea what to expect it's my first pregnancy so im hoping it all look ok so far.

I keep getting this! On Tuesday I had a really bad period pain, and back ache. But no period. Lesser pain yesterday. No period. Today I feel a bit weird. I don't have any other symptoms, but have been struggling to remember exactly when my last period was. Certainly before Easter. I'm never sure if I'm just peri-menopausal. I better get a test I suppose.....

Porto - get thee to a chemist immediately!

Hannah - that's great news, glad they are taking your concerns so seriously! I spoke to the midwife last night who didn't seem in the least bit interested!
