Is cramping in first trimester normal?

[PINKDIAMOND]

Lately i have been experienceing some mild cramps in my stomach. It feels almost like period pains allthough not as severe. They tend to come and go.
I am 5 weeks pregnant and i was just wondering, are these cramps normal?

VERY!

You think its all over don't you those horrid period pains, cramps etc Not at all and sadly you will have spells throughout some say mainly when period would be due as well as other spells of things stretching and bubs growing etc.

Hey there

Im 5 wks 5days today and i have been getting all sorts of cramps and twinges of pain. I was advised to go to a&e on Tuesday due to a bad pain on my left side that would not go away. I had a horrible time at the hospital as the poked and prodded me and stuck things in me up me

I think they expected an eptopic but all was well. I got to have a scan and the bean is in the right place and i saw the heartbeat

They said the pain was due to the pocket from the left ovary which the egg was released from. They said it produces hormones and stuff but will eventually go away. However in the mean time it can cause discomfort and pain.

I have however been getting pains all over ever since and have been suffering mild sickness for the last few days. I have invested in some travel sickness bands which seem to help.

Best of luck and don't worry x

After everything I've had wrong with me I'd say EVERYthing is normal when you're pregnant. Although if you're not feeling right within yourself or they're BAD I'd speak to a doctor anyway, to put your mind at rest if nothing else.

Ive had them...infact there increasing now more then before lol

 

[Tegans Mama]

Lol I've had spells of cramps, never anything really severe, never worse than period pains

 

[reallytinyamy]

Oh yeah! And still getting them now. I'm used to them now!

 

[Samantha675]

I still have a couple of cramps every day.

Completely normal!! I had them from week 5 to week 7. My doctor told me that there was nothing to be concerned about unless the cramping became severe and/or was accompanied by heavy bleeding.

Thanks to everyone for their replys. I feel a whole lot better now.
Thank you!.

I had them really bad. So bad that i curled up in the fetal position, sweated and yet could not keep my feet still. One night it even put me to the floor. Weird....anyway I had an ultrasound and everything is great and the cramps have since past. I suppose that everyone's body adapts differently and do not worry....everything is just fine!
