Did you get cramps and feel really bloated ? 4weeks preg ?

[clucas1988]

Hi ladies just found out I'm 4 weeks I keep getting af type cramps and I feel huge already like mega bloating! I'm not symptom spotting but I genuinely feel massive! I've also go very slight dodgy tummy?
This is my 1st baby so unsure what's normal! Thanks in advance xx

The cramping and bloating is totally normal as long as there isn't any bleeding!

Yes, I was super crampy and super bloating. Thankfully that bloat has gone down quite a bit since then...

I just found out I'm pregnant yesterday and I've got super bloat going on along with mega cramps. The worst is in my legs. Sounds like we're in the same boat

Yep! I only found out on Friday! I've been getting cramps for about a week but obv thought they were af! They are a lot stronger now like dull but strongish I can't explain it! Never had anything like it before!!!
All other ladies seem to complain of constipation too but I've got the opposite problem if u no wat I mean! Sorry if tmi! I feel swollen and icky! Xxx

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Yes! That's exactly how I'm feeling. The cramping in my legs/back feel like af but worse but it's not pain it's just... I don't know I've had some constipation too over the tww, finally had a small movement this afternoon (sorry tmi lol)

I started bloating really early too, before I even got my BFP. It's soo bad after I eat (anything!) as well as heartburn. I didn't get that until the end of my last pregnancy, so I find it strange that I'm getting it so early on this time around. Blegh.

I've had cramps for the last week or so (I'm 5+3). I had major bloating in my 4th week, so much so that a guy asked me when I was due before I'd even told anybody I was pregnant!
I also had a bit of an 'off' tummy. All sound normal to me

Same here...bloating was really bad in week 4, and the same weird cramps that are dull and achy but persistent.

This week, the bloating is better, but still bad by the end of the day. I also find that I'm far less bloated on the weekends, when work doesn't get in the way - I tend to eat smaller, fresher snacks/meals, destress, and do a bit of cardio, which really seems to help! Oh, and I alternate between constipation and, well, the opposite every few days, which hasn't been fun!! But working out has helped with "regularity" too...even though I'm not feeling like it (I usually hop on my elliptical or do a prenatal DVD...in my pajamas!)

I took my dog on a walk yesterday and felt great after, it helped my leg aches for quite a while. Small dinners with many snacks for me for a bit, the soup and toast I had last night left me unsettled and massive bloat until I fell asleep.
