I am 5 weeks pregnant and have been having cramps that feel like menstrual cramps. I just wanted to know if this was normal?

Hi I'm also 5weeks. I've been experiencing more of like a dull cramping not as bad as "period cramps". In one of my many books it stated "growing pains" due to the ligaments stretching as the uterus grows. Just wondering if anyone else has had these type of feelings.

I am 6 weeks pregnant and not only do I have abdominal cramping, but I also have been bleeding. It's very unusual, I've talked to my doctor and he said that it's normal when the location of the egg implants itself. I have an appt. soon, but I was just wondering if anyone has had any similiar symptoms. Meghan

Its rare but happens...Since u feel like your on your period and it is time and everything but there isn't blood...There is a such thing as a "silent" period...Which is just as I explained...Talk to your doctor...I wouldn't be too worried....

i'm 9 weeks pregnant and have been having similar cramping to yours. I asked my doctor about it since I miscarried last april. She said cramping is completely normal as long as it's not accompanied by blood.

i am 7 weeks pregnant and am experiencing the same cramping that you described. It is not as bad as period pains, but feels very similar. I have not been to the doctor and I was wondering myself that same question. I am glad to know that this is happening to others, so it does not seem abnormal.

Tubal Pregnancy Posted: 08-17-03 21:46pm


I am 7 weeks pregnant. I have this annoying cramping on my left side. It doesn't cramp all the time, mostly when I walk for a long period of time. I am not bleeding or anything, and the pain is not severe. Should I be worried that it is tubal pregnancy?

Sum Up All of These Posted: 08-24-03 11:22am


Ok, first of all, everybody's body is different. Some women cramp during pregnancy without bleeding. Some cramp and bleed, and some have none of the above. I have heard it all. "it's not good when you cramp, or bleed, it may be a sign or miscarriage." or "it may be a sign that the egg has planted itself to close to the cervix." doctors all have their own experience in what they believe to be a healthy pregnancy. In my own experience, I never had normal periods and had to go on the pill in order to. Once I got off the pill to try to get pregnant, I think my body was messed up from it, making it harder for me to carry properly. I've had 3 mc's since last oct all accompanied by continuous cramping, then immediate bleeding. They were all 6-7 wks along, and it was frusterating. But, I pulled through and got some help. Now I am 22 wks, and healthy pg. I had some mild cramping in the first few weeks with this one, but nothing like the others. Just monitor your own body, nobody knows it better than you. (not even the doctor!) I know this ......... Good luck and keep a watchful eye on things. Just don't stress about it. Beth edd 12-25-03

Bleeding At 6 1/2 Weeks And Very Nervous Posted: 09-17-03 15:39pm


I started bleeding last night. My first prenatal visit isn't until oct.1. So I called my doctor immediately and saw her just this morining. She did na ultrasound. She couldn't see my baby (embro), but she did see a cyst on one of my ovaries that she want to keep and eye on. She also said it was good the I wasn't cramping and that my cervix wasn't dialated! She prescribe no rest or anything. Just said take it easy. "easy" whatever that means. I'm scared! I've been trying to get pregnant for over a year. This is my first pregnancy. I'll be 35 in october and was very excited about the prospect of being a mom. The bleeding is red and so far only when I wipe (i.E. I'm not bleeding onto a panty liner yet). But it is very similar to when I first start my period. Can anyone offer some calming advice? Amoon, I red your post and would love to here more about your pregnancies. Also, carrie wolf and megan, i'll keep you in my prayers. angelene in california

Okay, I'm not 100 percent sure I'm pregnant, but I definatley have the symptoms... I started my period March 27th, I waited for my period in April and on April 24th-25th I got a super light spotting, similar to what is called implantation bleeding...... I took a pregnancy test and it was invalid.... and now it's May 9th and I'm having cramping in my lower abdomen...almost like menstrual cramps.... If I'm pregnant...this would make me 5 weeks pregnant correct? Is all of this normal? What should I think? Is it too early to see a doctor? && When should another pregnancy test be taken?
