I am 6w1d today. Last night, I had some pain during sex and throughout the night I had occasional cramping on my lower left side. Today I just feel this mild but constant pressure in that same lower left side behind my c section scar. I guess I am sharing this in the hopes that someone else has experienced this and not miscarried? I am really nervous that the cramping and pressure means the end of this pregnancy.
I had quite a lot of cramping around 6/7 weeks. Not related to sex just randomly happened. I was convinced it was going to end up being ectopic or something but my scan showed everything was fine. They seemed to have settled the past few days.
I’ve been cramping since my bfp. Some days they’ve been really strong and scared the hell out of me. I’m still getting them on and off now and I get it all in my lower back too. I called the epu Friday because I had such a horrendous night with really bad cramps and I was convinced I’d lost the baby. I was booked in with them Monday for a reassurance scan but they squeezed me straight in Friday morning and the scan showed our little baby with a heartbeat. We’ve only bd’d once since I’ve found out because of these cramps. I’ve had 4 separate occasions of spotting too so I’m just terrified to do anything. I noted down cramping with my son in the early weeks so I know it can be normal. They said the reason mine could be stronger is because of my age and because every pregnancy you have they can get stronger each time. I’m sure you’ll be fine. It’s probably just everything stretching and growing in there but if you’re really worried you could always ask your gp or midwife for advice or be checked over for peace of mind. Hopefully things will start easing over the next week or two
I wish I could have an earlier scan, but the earliest my new OB can see me for an ultrasound is on June 13. I think I will call tomorrow and see if I can be seen any earlier because the wait is stressing me out. Thanks to everyone for your replies. I refuse to lose or decrease the amount of sex in my life due to being pregnant, but sometimes the cramping does make me a bit nervous.
