Cramping more than before
I'm cramping today more than I have in the past. I just entered my fifth week....and I'm cramping stronger today than I have in the past, and can't figure out if its bathroom cramps or AF like cramps!!! Anyone experience this???
Sorry for the 8 million questions!!!

Re: Cramping more than before
I just responded to another post of yours--we are right around the same place in our pregnancies--and I've been having this, too. The other night it was so bad, I was doubled over!  BUT, I am told that it's completely and totally normal.
Though I still run to the bathroom to wipe--I guess it's a little unnerving, huh?

I feel the same way! I am in my 9th week...and I squeeze my boobs all day long to make sure they still hurt. The cramping is totally normal. I have it too. Its your uterus expanding to make room for the peanut! Good luck!

same here! it's hard not to freak out but it's totally normal. unless you are doubled over in pan and can't move or are bleeding red, it's nothing to worry about

Re: Cramping more than before
My cramps have been getting worse too. It made me worried, but I'm glad to see others are experiencing the same thing.

Re: Cramping more than before
It was normal for me. At 5-6 weeks I had cramping everyday. I was told it was the uterus expanding to make room for the baby. I also had spotting for 8 days around that time. Talk about nerve wracking!! But all was ok! Hand in there!

Re: Cramping more than before
I've been having the same thing lately - this AM I woke up feeling nothing and got worried, then I was getting cramping later in the morning and got worried. I was thinking about going out to buy HPTs at lunch but I am going to relax since it seems to be very normal.
It's so helpful to have everyone here going through the same thing

Re: Cramping more than before
just sending to all the first trimester moms!
The nervousness will definitely mellow after you're past the first 12 weeks or so... but yeah, it sure was stressful for me during those early weeks
