No suggestions. Just wanted to tell you this is normal and common in early pregnancy. Kind of feels like period cramps, huh? Normal. It goes away, to be replaced with other various aches and pains.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I had cramps all through my first trimester. I still get a lot of aches and pains in my abdominal area now, and I am nearly 30 weeks. There is nothing to be concerned about unless they are unbearably painful or accompanied by bleeding. Congrats on your pregnancy!!!!

Thank you so much for comments. I am sure I am just over reacting. I will keep everybody posted. We are so excited about having a baby. Thanks again!!!

it's probably gas. sounds stupid, but now that you're pregnant, you seem to feel *every little* pinch and pain down there! And, of course, panic!

I totally know where you're coming from! I'm sure many ladies remember my panic with my 1st child. I *swore* I was miscarrying. Turns out, it was just a severe case of the sh!ts!!! lmao!!!!

I'm sure all is well! *But* if you experience any bleefing, contact your Dr. asap!

I jumped everytime I got a belly ache or cramps in the begining
but you kinda get used to it unless the pain is unbareable.
I was told during my experiences that it was common and like said before most likely gas. LOL get used to it.
I'm sure all is well.
Congrats to you and yours. =]

Hi!
I'm also 5 adn 1/2 weeks and am having cramping but no bleeding. It has awaken me from sleep at night but has gone away. I also feel bloated and get very nervous about the cramping. It's a relief to hear all of your responses. I have my first Dr. visit tomorrow and I hope all is well!

During the first trimester your uterus is already starting to strecth and this can cause slight period pain like cramping, dont panic it is totally normal and very common!!

amzi0208 - during this pregnancy I was incredibly bloated for the whole of the 1st 12 weeks and it was terrible!! I'd like to give you some advice but I never found a way to get rid of it! lol

i had this too, was calling my midwife asking if it was normal... it was quite painfull

Hi I'm 5 weeks 5 days, I just found out yesterday. I had the worst nights sleep ever last night, my back was so sore and my stomach was cramping but I think it was wind

Hi there, I am 5 weeks pregnant and cramping. I lost a baby at 7 weeks last year so I'm freaking out. I don't want to go to my Dr.'s until I'm about 7 weeks because last time I went at 5 weeks, there was no heart beat, he said it was early. It almost feels like I have to pee too. Any words of wisdom?

I also miscarried with my first baby. I am now on my second and I am 30 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. During my first trimester I was completely paranoid and freaked over every twinge and cramp. Unfortunately, with the first trimester comes a ton of crampiness and stretching pains. The best thing you can do is relax and take care of yourself. Congrats on your pregnancy!

Hi there I am in my 5 week and experiecing cramping off and on. I had ivf and it had been a nerve recking time waiting for every step to find out if all is well. Tomorrow I have my first ultrasound and and I am nervous. This is my first child and I am 40yrs old so I am sure you can understand my dilemma. I pray evertday and try to comfort myself with positive stories that relate to my situation and ignore the negatives....but it hard. My prays go out to all the women out there that are trying like myself to have a miracle in their life by having a baby.
