Hey and congrats. I had the same problem,
this is also my first pregnancy. I called
the Dr. To make sure everything was o.K.
And she said it was normal as long as its
not all day and there is no bleeding. I'm
17 wks and still occasionaly get
cramps...Especially shooting cramps. Doc
says its the stretching that causes it.
If you're really worried call your obgyn.
Good luck

Hey brittany-
this is my 1st pregnancy as well. I am 8
1/2 weeks and still experience cramps
everyday. It is normal as long as there
is no blood. They can vary in intesity
too. My friend thought she was having a
miscarriage her cramps hurt so bad. She
got an ultrasound and everything was fine.
Her baby is 6 months old now. Try not to
worry

I did not know I was pregnant (our 1st
too) until around 4-5 weeks, I also had
these type of cramps. I am now almost 12
weeks and they have pretty much stopped.
What the other folks have said are some of
the same things I have heard. Lots of
people have them, don't worry. Again,
unless bleeding starts, and even then that
can be normal, some women have a normal
period while pregnant and other bleeding
that is normal.
It's so confusing, isn't it? There are
so many things that could be warning signs
but then again those things are seen in
normal pregnancies too. Ahhhh :-), well
hang in there.

I am 6 weeks pregnancy and have cramps
almost every day. I spoke to my doctor
and she assured me it was normal. It
could be gas or your uterus expanding. I
was worried in the beginning too...But am
now used to it. They seem to be
subsiding everyday.
Oh yeah...I have absolutely no morning
sickness. Is this normal or am I just
lucky?

When I was about 3 1/2 months...I got the
shooting cramps that woke me up out of a
dead sleep. I went to the potty and
tinkled and went back to bed. I thought
that maybe that would make it go away. As
soon as I laid back down they started
again. So I went back to the bathroom and
they intensified..To the point where I
thought it was labor...I couldn't breath
it hurt soo bad. I stood up to grab a
towel to bite on because I didn't want to
make any noises to wake the family up and
there was a large movement in my gut...
Girlll..No sooner did I sit back down did
I take the best hot crap of my life!!! I
call it the best because the pains went
away immedietly!!! I ate like 2 dozen hot
tamales that night and my stomch couldn't
handle the cornstarch!! Lol...I know this
is tmi but it's more than likely dooky
cramps!! Haha...I was soo relieved when I
went back in the bed.
I woke my fiance up and told him that I
was having shooting pains and it wount up
being poop.....
Good luck....

Same thing happend to me... The best crap
I ever took as well. When it happend to
me I really freaked out. Same with
cramping... It was only gas. I'm now 10
weeks and the cramping has stopped except
when I get up too fast.
Lets all hang in there.

Hi brittany and congrats! My name is
gillian and I too am about 5 weeks with my
first and also have these on and off
cramps. Mine come without warning day or
night but most so far have been in the
night - also waking me up, and the weird
thing is that they send me to the bathroom
with really bad cold chills and I have to
poop before I feel better. I did some
research online and found that its normal
as its just the uterus getting ready for
the baby. So don't be scared. When I
found out that other women go through this
too it made it more bearable. So hang in
there girl!
