Period-like Cramping In Week 5 Posted: 03-30-05 10:15am


Hi all - i am new to the board and I am glad that I found it. The posts that I have read so far are ver helpful. It always feels better to know when there are other people going through what you are and that you are not alone! I have been officially diagnosed as 5 weeks pregnant (by hpt and blood work). My husband and I are thrilled, this is our second baby. We have a 3 year old daughter already. My question is, I am having period-like cramping. It is not cramping in my abdominal area, but in my pelvic area. Could anyone help as to whether or not this is normal or if any of you have experienced this and gone on past the 'miscarriage danger zone'? Thanks!!! Christine

Hello i am 5 weeks pregnant today, april 7, and thats all I have been feeling is crampy. I woke up this morning having really bad ones and then I peed and felt a little better, went back to sleep and woke up 2 hours later feeling a little better. I called my obgyn and she said it was pretty normal. Your uterus is contracting to expand for the baby to make its home so unless they are really severe, I guess its pretty normal. Gl kelly

Oh, yes!! Welcome to the wonderful world of pregnancy where there are constant aches and pains.....The cramping is more than likely your uterus strecthing and making room for your little baby!

I am feeling the same thing! The pain/ache is more in my lower back though. I am 4 weeks right now. Am nervous since I have miscarried before (never had this symptom though) but the doctor says to just relax and the aches and pains will be normal. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Relax and enjoy it. I know, easier said that done.
