Period Pains Anyone?

[littlebump]

Hi all

Did anyone experience period pains early on? I've been feeling pretty crappy all day - I'm only 5 1/2 weeks pregnant but am feeling pretty periody with dull ache in my lower stomach and back, and aching legs. Really hoping nothing's wrong, but I don't remember anything like this last time.

Has anyone else felt similar?

They seem to only come very occasionally now.

Yes i got period pain symtoms in the first month the first and second time round, but not this time..yippee.. i remember being scared about it though, and my GP told me to relax it happens sometimes, some people even have a slight bleed but not to worry. If you are overly worried then call your Doctor. After all it's only a phone call for peace of mind. Take care, and be well

 

Yeah me too, it's horrible

I had them for about a month starting from about 4 days before i was due on I never tested till i was a week late because i was convinced i was going to come on..it was only when i spoke to sister in law she said she's had the same with her first....it kinda gave way when the morning sickness kicked in LOL

Thanks so much - very relieved to know it's all normal!!

And I thought second time around wouldn't be as worrying...

still getting them at 12.5 weeks and the midwife reassured me of what i already thought - it's your uterus expanding and perfectly normal, should ease off as the muscles soften. Trust me to have a hard muscular uterus, the gods know the rest of my tummy's pretty lacking in muscle!

I still get them around the times I would have been due.

I had it with Aaron and I seriously thought I was going to come on for about 2 weeks and then I tested cos still no af and I got a bfp. It's normal

I am now 12 weeks. I delayed doing my test at first because I was getting period pains. I have had them on and off throughout the pregnancy. I think it is everything moving into place.
