I find it really reassuring when I get these, feels as if the womb is stretching to make way for baby!
I cant explain it, its like a pinching achey feeling! Anyone else get this?

Kinda like AF cramps? I've been getting AF cramps for over a week.

hmm, I dont ever really get af cramps, lucky I suppose!
Its more of a sharp ish pain that throbs for a minute or two, a bit like an ache too - its really hard to describe pains!

Kaede351 · Mar 4th, 2010, 16:00 PM

Yeah, mine last for about a minute or two. Sometimes I get a few a little way apart and sometimes I get them really close to and sometimes I can go all day and only have 1 or 2.

I think I'm panicky though because DH and I have been trying for 10 months... which isn't very long in retrospect, but feels like forever! I've had a little bit of very light pink tinged CM aswell (pink in the morn and turns brown by afternoon)... and that is worrying me aa little bit too. Bring on Monday and my first doc's appointment lol XD

I get them too but its nothing to worry about , too many of them are getting these pains for it to be anything serious

but I guess we can't help but worry until we pass first at which I'm sure the worrying will start all over again lol

I had stretching pains when i was about 5 weeks for a couple days then again when i was about 7-8 weeks. havent had them since though nd FX'ed they dont come back - they used to scare me and make me worry!! =/

I actually find these pains reassuring as they are nothing like my miscarriage pains.
With my miscarriage it was basically like labour pains and contraction, really bad lower back ache and continuous big cramps that lasted for about 7 hours until finally I miscarried. So Im not panicking about these twinges, it just reminds me that the growing must be happening!

I'm getting 'period pains' all the time, its hard to say how strong they are, I can sit here and deal with them, not doubling over or anything? Is that normal?? Dr said to me that after nearly 20 years on having a period your body 'memorises' the cramping and even though your not bleeding your body still goes through the monthly cramps??!! Im 9 weeks and havent had any bleeding at all so Im trying not to worry. x

Well, heres my theory - if you were cramping due to a miscarriage then Im sure youd be bleeding too - I dont know the facts, but I didnt have any cramps until I actually miscarrried, and I had spotting before the cramps too.
I reckon its got to be normal - just imahine what is going on in there so we have to feel something
