Cramping in lower stomach

[Kirsty88]

I found out yesterday I was pregnant...2 days after af due...today I've been cramping like crazy...is there any hope for me??

Yes there's plenty of hope hun cramping happens to us all, it's your body stretching and growing ready to accommodate a baby. My cramps have only just really subsided now that I'm 7 weeks. Try not to panic if it's severe and or comes with blood, get yourself checked over but if not, try not to worry x

Cramping is normal in early pregnancy (as is round ligament pain, which if you've not experienced it before, can feel a lot like cramping). If the cramps are really painful, like sharp, take your breathe away pain, I would probably be seen just to make sure nothing serious is causing that. Otherwise, mild to moderate cramping can be completely normal. I know I had some just before I found out I was pregnant (which was pretty painful on one particular day) and many days last week as well. When I did experience a loss, I truly had no cramping at all to indicate anything was actually wrong. So I would try to stay positive for now.

Thank you for your reassurance girls...oh how pregnancy is such a worry...you would think 2nd/3rd time round you would be a little bit more at ease but I guess I'm just a worrier!! Xx
