Slight Cramping at 5 Weeks

Anyone else experience this at 5 weeks?

They're not strong enough to be painful but definitely there.

Is this something to be concerned about?

I had horrific cramps at 5 weeks, they even woke me up one night. After that they eased off, I had them until I was about 7 weeks. My midwife just said to keep an eye on it and as long as i wasn't bleeding it was probably normal stretching pains. Everything was absolutely fine. I know how worrying it is, just keep an eye on it, but I'm sure it's all normal.

Definitely normal, I'm sure I had some mild cramping at 5 weeks too, still get some now at 8 weeks and saw our healthy bubba on Monday so all good!

I think if it gets super painful and/or is accompanied by bleeding then that would be concerning.

Yeah I had that at 5 weeks. Felt a bit like period cramps. Also remember getting some pretty sharp right side pain around the same time. Think it must of been baby getting comfy.
U can get like stretching pain as well. Even early as 5 or 6 weeks it ure body preparing for all that growing.
