From 1st tri: no cramping anymore, worried!

[filipenko32]

Hi Ladies, I am popping over from the 1st tri. I'm only 5 weeks 3 days pregnant and I am really worried as my af like cramps seem to have stopped for the past 2 days when they were strong enough to be waking me up in the middle of the night. I have nausea, dry retching several times a day and mildly sore boobs. I have a lot of gasiness! Did anyone else lose their cramping very early on for a while? Thankyou!

 

[Dalila]

yes

 

[filipenko32]

Did you lose the cramping as early on as 5 weeks? Did it ever come back? Thanks!

well i've had a pretty smooth pregnancy i had a few growing pains from stretching ligaments early on i don't remember when but they were on and off and now i've just been having cramps again

as long as your not bleeding or loosing amniotic fluid or they're to really painful you should be fine but your doctor should go over that stuff

I hardly cramped at all in the first trimester, hon. If there was any cramping, it definitely went away by week 6 or so and there were just mild pulling pains and such from thereonout.

No cramping is usually a good thing.

H&H 9 months to you!

Don't worry Hun I cramped pretty bad first 6 weeks then it stopped started til 2nd tri when I mainly had abit of back ache try not to worry which I know is easier said than done x

Light cramping or no cramping, either way nothing to worry about. I didn't really have any at all. I had a little bit of discomfort right at the beginning but I put it down to pregnancy hormones and my body kicking in to action.

It's pretty normal not to have cramps at 5 weeks.

Thanks so much ladies that's so reassuring, I am finding it very hard to stop worrying, I can't imagine getting past 6 weeks!! But must try to starrt thinking more positively!! x

I never had any at all hun, dont worry the first tri is really tough with all the symptom watching but like you say stay positive and everything will be great! Every pregnancy is different! x

My cramps stopped at 6 weeks hun. I even had spotting but everything is fine with bubba!! Good luck and try to relax x x

My cramps didn't stop until about week 10, bu to be fair i didn't have any morning sickness whatsoever and I worried about the lack of MS and symptoms. Alot of my symptoms went away at week 10. i thnk every pregnancy is different and if you're very very worried book yourself an early pregnncy scan at about week 8 so you can see the little heartbeat -)

Mine were on and off. I had severe cramping several times and spotting as well. Try not to worry too much about symptom spotting (easier said than done I know) as it will drive you nuts and 1st tri will drag on and on and on if you spend everyday worrying. Try to enjoy your pregnancy, think positively and time will pass quicker.

I only cramped 2 days- and it was when I was 4 weeks- The other cramping I felt was arounf week 12 and 16 and it was more like round ligament pain- just your uterus stretching

 

[filipenko32]

So reassuring! Thankyou x

Everyones experience is different, and even day to day you will feel different yourself.

I have had no cramps/aches/pains etc at all in my 3 pregnancies........if I had cramps then I would have been worried!!!!
