Cramps :(

[ISH]

I'm 4 weeks pregnant and I've been having menstrual-like cramps since before I even missed my period.

They're not very consistent and there's no bleeding, but I am so worried I woke up this morning with pain worse than usual and I've been a wreck since!

there perfectly normal honey! stop worrying, i used to wake up in the night with really bad cramps. Your body is growing fast and going through alot of changes, as long as there is no blood don't worry. x

Thank you! I was hoping paranoia would not be one of the symptoms of pregnancy, but apparently it is

It is natural to worry but it is all normal x

Thanks for posting this I'm having the same cramps. So pleased to see your responses x x

 

[Danti]

Yes me too so this is a nice reassurance that it's normal xx

I just wish I could take some Paracetamol, but I've decided against it, want to be as 'clean' as possible.

 

[Lilelephant]

Paracetomal is completely safe hun

Conpletely normal! Just ur little one snuggling in making itself at home.
A nice warm water bottle works wonders and some paracetemol is fine to take xxx
Congrats on ur pregnancy!

Thank you SO much, everyone! I started the day a mess, must have given my husband a good fright! He looked a bit shocked when he came home and found me perfectly calm.

Hello, neighbour!

 

[ISH]

Had to succumb to the lure of Paracetamol this morning. My pain endurance is pathetic.....

 

[Pickledonions]

not at all...mine have been really painful at times. Paracetamol is fine

 

[ISH]

Such a relief to know it's not necessarily a symptom of something sinister. Thank you, everyone, for your support!!!

Still having cramps, and they seem to be at their worst in the morning. Not sleeping very well, drained of energy, and the cramps make me avoid any type of exercise...

This whole thing is not a walk in the park!

I'm feeling super light headed, I have to get up very carefully or I just know I'll faint!!

And yes cramps are scarey.......

Glad cramps aren't a sign of anything sinister always bit of a relief! I think we worry all the time we get them don't we? X

Hey Hun, like the others said cramps are normal, im still getting some now - just your body getting ready for what's to come! And your spot on, this ain't no walk in the park! Just 3 months of tiredness, nausa, back ache, cramps and spotting! But apparently it gets a bit easier in tri2, and it's all worth it after 9 months Xx
Congrats on the pregnancy Xx
