early on feelings, is this normal?

I'm expecting my 2nd DC and I'm only about 6-7 weeks pregnant (my offical dr. apt is 8/29).

I had an extremely easy pregnancy with my 1st. So far, my stomach does feel upside down from time to time, and I also feel very crampy and sometimes get a little pain in my side (a quick sharp pain, nothing too crazy). Is crampy & sharp pain here and there normal? I'm not the crazy doctor girl and I'm a'ok with waiting.

Thanks!

Normal. I had af like cramping with my first and now with this pregnancy until 11 weeks. I had shooting pains on one side too. Its just everything started to stretch out.


congrats

Re: early on feelings, is this normal?

Early on, I had cramping and ONE little spot of blood that was enough to freak me out. Turns out, my progesterone level was low and I was put on an increased dosage of prometrium. The doc said the low progesterone explained the cramping.

Maybe just look into your progesterone level to make sure it doesn't have to be supplemented?

FYI.. I was also on extra folic acid and baby aspirin early on. Some early cramps can be normal, but to be on the safe side, I would check in with your doctor to make everything is good and you don't need anything supplemented or checked.

Good luck!

Sounds pretty normal to me. I had a lot of cramping and some sharp pains here and there in the very beginning due to expansion.
