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.


Ok I am 5 weeks pregnant also and Ive been having cramps too.I havent been to the doctor yet and I dont know if this is normal, because I read alot of everyone saying they experience "mild" cramps not like there period. Well mine arent really mild- Its feels like when im on my period sometimes. Its not constantly though and I show no other bad signs. I havent puked and no bleeding. Just the cramping. Should I be worried? Question

well this post is from a few years ago but the cramping is normal.. making room for the baby.. I didnt think I was pregnant because I though i was having period cramps.. If you experiance bleeding or extream pain then contact a doctor..But again, i would call my cramping when first pregnant the same as period cramps.

Cramping
Posted: 06-03-07 22:29pm

I had very bad cramping from about 5-20 weeks pregnancy and even had a few epsoides of bleeding and had brown spotting from weeks 7-14. On Jan 30th 2007 I gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby girl. The pain could be coming from the stretching of your uterus or in my case I had gestational diabetes and didn't know it. When I got my sugar level under control the cramping stopped around week 28. Also, severe constipation can really cause bad cramping. This was my third pregnancy and in all three I had really bad cramping that felt like a bad period and all three kids came out perfectly healthy and I never had a miscarriage. Hope this can encourage some of you out there, I know how frantic you feel when your cramping and/or bleeding during pregnancy, but I have a strong faith in God and put it all in his hands and all my kids arrived safely.
