Tiredness & Cramps

[Little Monkey]

Is it normal to feel so tired, this early in pregnancy (5 weeks) all I want to do is go to sleep. I have been like this for the last 2 hours and now have to take OH to work and then pick the kids up from school.

Also is cramping normal thoughtout the day (not constantly) I have slight cramping the last few mornings also last night and again at about 1.30pm today.

Probably worrying about nothing. I never really has any sympoms with my 3 boys so not sure if this is normal.

Thanks

I sure hope it's normal, those are my symptoms too! No food adversions, or nausea yet thank goodness.
I do have a wicked case of insomnia that has lasted for the last 6 nights (maybe contributing to the exhaustion). I cramp all day (on and off) it's not severe, just a reminder that my uterus is busy with something For the exhaustion I've just been taking 20 minute naps at lunchtime, it makes a world of difference.
You and I are both at 5 weeks! nice to know I have a symptom twin

Both very normal.

Nap when you can!

Cramps come with the package too ... much to my horror! lol

It is completly normal. Total and complete exhaustion was the first thing to hit me, 8 days after conception, my body knew. I am still tried but not like that first week. As for the cramps, I have had them on and off since then as well.

I had a lot of cramps as first and was convincing myself I must have an ectopic pregnancy, it's so easy to worry when you've never experienced the pains before. Also, I found the first few weeks so tiring.. I was decorating at the time and was wondering why I needed to sit down so much, plus I couldn't stop going to the loo!

Try not to worry im sure all is fine!

Same here...not too bad with exhaustion, yeah i do get tired and come night time i do just pass out but im not feeling the need to nap throughout the day...(yet)

as for cramps, i'm the same, keep thinking my period is going to come. today though i've seen a huge increase in discharge, i was a bit worried cos i felt so wet but its just white sorry tmi,so hopefully thats nothing to worry about either

Oh yea..it's normal. I tested around week 5 cause I was SO TIRED all the time, couldn't get enough sleep. I was crampy though so I thought AF was on the way...
