I am 5 weeks and one day pregnant. I was to very nervious about the light cramping after my positive test, which is spuradic for me. I am glad to hear that it is normal. Nice to know that im not the only one!!!

I am 11 weeks pregnant and have been cramping for about two weeks around my 6-7 week i had light spotting which i was told was normal unless it was bright red or had tissue or clots in but everything is o.k every pregnancy and every woman is not the same

I am on my 8th week! Before I knew I was preg, I had terrible cramps, I was sweating, etc, for like, an hour. Then I find out I'm 4 w! At 6w, there is our baby on ultrasound, heart pumping at 140 bpm! All last week I had cramps and a faint pink and old-blood type discharge and I was so scared! But there wasn't anything that could be considered "tissue". I want another ultrasound!!! I want to know my munchkin is ok, but I have to wait for Aug. 22 *sniff* I have a larger-than-normal cyst on one overy and I don't know how much is realated to that - the pain I THOUGHT was the cyst is gone now, so I don't know what to think. I am beginning to think my colored discharge is related to s_x, but it doesn't show up until the day after! My midwife asked if I still had preg symptoms when I told her about it, scaring me even more, but I feel like I have to be. I've never throw up so much in my life!!! .! Also, I've had a light pink discharge & and old-blood type, too! This scares me to death but even though I'm cramping it's not like I'm in distress or it's something I can't handle so I try to calme down. Sometimes I feel things, too. I read in a pregnancy book that if you are really tuned in or very skinny you can sometimes feel it twitch but how skinny do you need to be?

I myself have been concerned because I am only in my 4th week and I have been feeling menstral cramps- they come and go, but after reading some of these entries I guess I feel a little better. I haven't yet seen my doctor.

i just got a positive result after a few invitro cycles, im also having cramping with slight brownish spotting. the dr says its normal and ill be fine. im just happy that im not the only one with cramping early in my pregnancy.

Hi All, I'm in the same boat--really scared, but trying to stay calm. I'm 6 weeks along and have just started very mild on-and-off spotting. Had a sonogram done, and the doc said everything is normal at this point. But now I'm having some low belly pain/cramping and I'm really nervous I may be in the beginning stages of a miscarriage. It's my first pregnancy and I'm 32. Man, it's stressful either way, isn't it? Stressful getting pregnant, and stressful staying pregnant. Thanks for all of the info, I'm trying to keep a cautiously optimistic outlook.

Hi Those who have experienced cramping has this been in the lower stomach area only? Mine has been in the lower stomach but now it is my hips and the tops on my legs they ache really bad one some times all day or on and off. just like period pains I have been getting them for nearly two weeks AF due 2 aug

How soon did you feel the cramping?first days? week? Did you notice a ga__sy feeling the first week or so?

 

Roxanne - July 28

Katina, I noticed spotting about 5 1/2 weeks in. Sonogram was normal. I noticed the crampy feeling 3 days later-no spotting until later that evening. Today the crampiness is not so bad, and there is virtually no spotting. What do you think?

Cramping is the worst! I have been told that this is your uterus expanding.

 

sarah - July 28

Hi can anyone tell me does you cramping also go down in to the tops of your legs?? I feel like legs are dead weights
