Anyone have cramping very early in pregnancy (4-5 weeks)?
I am 5 weeks pregnant. I found out I was pregnant last week. Although we got pregnant on our own, I'm being monitored by my RE since I have/had PCOS. Betas have come back great, 1st sono next week.
But, I've been feeling slightly crampy since last week. It's not all day, but I can feel it for hours sometimes. I don't remember feeling anything like this with my DS. It's not really pain but more of an ache, like if AF was coming. It's low, more or less where my c-section scar is.
I can't help but be worried. Has anyone had anything like this before? What was the outcome?

Thank everyone. Glad to hear it's normal. I guess this is just the 1st of the things I will worry about. I was the same with my DS until I could feel him move.

Re: Anyone have cramping very early in pregnancy (4-5 weeks)?
I just wanted to say I'm around the same point as you and been feeling the same thing. I barely remember from pregnancy to pregnancy, but EVERYTHING I have read and EVERYTHING people tell me is that it's normal. I agree though, it's so unnerving!!
Oh, and congratulations!  Stores like your's gives me hope because I have PCOS and would love to one day get pregnant naturally!

i would also think your cramping would be more pronounced than last time because you have scarring in your uterus from the c-section. you didnt have that the first time around so it will def feel different now as it stretches for baby.

This makes sense Flowerwife. Where the scar is is actually where I feel the pain. Uggh, I really want to have a VBAC after a difficult and traumatic delivery which ended in a c-section last time, hope the scar tissue isn't an issue and that they at least let me try.

Hey PennyCat, same to you, congrats! I've followed your story from lurking and posting on the Infertility board. I didn't think it would happen naturally. I actually had an RE apptmt to talk about the "plan" the day after I ovulated based on an OPK and the RE told me that OPK's wouldn't work for me bc my LH was always high. Well, guess he was wrong! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Re: Anyone have cramping very early in pregnancy (4-5 weeks)?
I found out I was pregnant at 11DPO from then until about 16DPO i was cramping I think that's within the 4 week period. I think its totally normal because your uterus is beginning to stretch and all your organs are relocating to make room for the baby!!
