[xJodieLoux]

Im 5 weeks pregnant, and for the past week and half ive been gettin period type cramps. Is this normal?

Yes tis normal, they may stay around for a while on and off. I've had them all the way through so far on and off.

Hi JodieLou,

As far as I can tell - that's normal. I feel pregnant sometimes and other times like I'm about to come on - and I'm so *wet* downstairs some of the time, I'm convinced I've started bleeding and it's all been a big joke.

Sometimes the slight pains are very like AF cramps, other times I can feel stretching and other times I feel like someone's stuck an ice cube right in the middle of my tummy (then it goes away again).

Get yourself a ticker!

yes perfectly normal. I've been having them for few days on and off. I did last time I was pregnant at the beginning aswell.

ETA: it feels just like period cramps yes.

I had them too at your stage they lasted about a month for me ..I never bothered testing i was so sure i was gonna start my period it was my sIL who said she was the same with her first that made me test

this is exactly what I needed to read..... been having cramps, real agony last night -especially when I lay down and after I have been to the toilet too ... but think I am over reacting, is a scarey business this isn't it!

like the ice cube anology - is spot on....

 

[xJodieLoux]

Hi topbird, Yes it is scary. I get it when Im in bed on a night and if I run up the stairs o stand up to fast. I get it randomly aswell though, sometimes its really bad and I hav to take a deep breath.

Hi Jodie

this site has made me feel sooo much better already!!

(now worried I might actually have constipation as well, may explain some cramps, trying to remember the last time I went )

 

[Xena]

constipation is also normal.

 

[xJodieLoux]

Oh the joys of being pregnant lol.

 

[topbird]

can't believe I am discussing my bowel movements with complete strangers.... LOL better get used to having public discussions of this nature I guess....

 

[xJodieLoux]

Lol to be honest you have got me thinking now too

I had cramps before I knew I was pregnant. I thought I was about to start AF. Started being sick about 10 days later, at 6 weeks.

So it sounds perfectly normal to me!

i had those for about a week after i got a positive result, felt like my period was going to come on but of course it didn't!

 

[xJodieLoux]

Ive been getting them for about 2 weeks now though and even though alot of people say they had it/have it I cant help but worry
