Not sever, but uncomfortable for sure. They only last for a few seconds and aren't regular. They seem to happen randomly or when I have to pee or move around a lot. I had a chemical two cycles ago, so I'm probably worrying more than normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1026128 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 11:07:12 +0000 autumnlove 1026128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I thought the same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1026094 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 10:41:21 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1026094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I thought this thread was new and I thought the OP was pregnant again, so of course I'm all like, "yay congraaaaats"...like a dumbass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1025660 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 23:00:44 +0000 LovelyPlum 1025660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChattyCathy: @MrsKoala: @winniebee: @char54: thank you!! In my head, I figured so, but this jusy feels more uncomfortable than it did at first. I agree, I feel like I'm going to bleed at any time, and there is just a lot of pressure on my cervix. Laying down has helped, and since I'm supposed to be on pelvic rest anyways, I figured staying off of my feet is not a bad idea.</p> <p>@CharityAnne: @T.H.O.U.: glad to know I'm not alone (though I'm sorry you have it too). It is scary!!</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: lol, what did you say??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1025508 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 21:32:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1025508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I'm there too! Last pregnancy I had really sharp shooting pains and was convinced it was ectopic but it wasn't. This time I'm having a lot of period like cramps and am convinced I am about to bleed at any time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1025495 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 21:23:51 +0000 Charm54 1025495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had definite period cramping until about week 8 or 9. All turned out well ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1025492 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 21:22:05 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1025492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Edited to erase my major stupidity </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1025480 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 21:15:02 +0000 winniebee 1025480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal and I had it until maybe 8 weeks along? Light cramping, a feeling a real bloatedness/expanding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1025461 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 21:00:53 +0000 MrsKoala 1025461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Totally normal. I had tons of cramping up until week 10. It's just the ole ute growing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1025436 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:52:02 +0000 ChattyCathy 1025436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I had cramping like right after my bfp and some like 2 weeks later and my hcg levels were still rising nicely. Not that that means anything. But I remember at the beginning of our due date thread a few of us were having cramping and experienced peeps were coming in and telling us how normal it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1025425 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:46:06 +0000 Mrs. PBJ 1025425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for this thread!!! @photojane: I just posted this question earlier in a different thread because it freaks me out! I'm only about 5 weeks I think and I've been crampy ever since my bfp. Good to know it's normal and I'm not alone in my worrying! :wink:<br /> @mrsmenow: haha I am doing the same thing!! Every time I feel a cramp I have this fear I'm going to start bleeding so I go to the bathroom to check! Guess I'm just nutty! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-1024620 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:15:55 +0000 LovelyPlum 1024620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping. </p> <p>I'm 6+4, and I'm so, so sore. It feels like a ton of pressure around my pelvic bones, along with random cramping by my hip bones and ribs. Doesn't feel great, but only occasionally sharp. It has been like this for a while, but today is worse than the last few days. </p> <p>I go in for my first appointment on Monday, but in the meantime: Normal?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178282 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 12:48:07 +0000 ninja 178282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was definitely crampy until 9 or 10 weeks. No worries, your uterus is just stretching to accommodate baby! I think I read somewhere that during the first couple of months your uterus actually doubles in size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178207 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 12:07:55 +0000 SleepyMonkey 178207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally fine. I ad period like cramps and general discomfort in the area until 8 weeks. Its just stretching out to make room for baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178178 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:43:50 +0000 cyneswith 178178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 weeks and still getting some cramping/twinges every few days. Just making room for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178177 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:41:12 +0000 DillonLion 178177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Yes!

About six weeks only myself and been feeling the same way! ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178143 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:21:53 +0000 DillonLion 178143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had lots of cramping on and off during that time. I still have random cramping now, just like @mrsjyw. But we are having the exact same pregnancy so that doesn't surprise me ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178139 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:20:37 +0000 mrsjyw 178139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very normal! I had a lot of cramping up until week 8/9. I still have random cramps in the second trimester, not nearly as bad as the first, but yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178138 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:20:35 +0000 mrsmenow 178138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I completely agre with PP, I was crampy until about 8 weeks pregnant and still every once and while (I am 11 weeks). I would go to the bathroom and look for bleeding all the time because I was sure with all the cramping there would be some, but nope I was just paranoid:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178133 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:17:57 +0000 hilsy85 178133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very normal! I had period like cramping for the first 6-8 weeks. i kept expecting to see that my period had arrived, but it never came. I wouldn't worry about it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178132 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:17:40 +0000 chopsuey 178132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had cramping til about week 7-8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178131 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:16:11 +0000 photojane 178131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah... it definitely doesn't hurt, and no bleeding. it's just weird feeling. i wanted to make sure i'm normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178126 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:13:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 178126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was crampy until 12 weeks +...I think it's normal if no bleeding or *pain*. But uncomfortable is definitely normal! Growing pains :) but if worried it doesn't hurt to call the OB or nurses and ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramping#post-178124 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:11:15 +0000 photojane 178124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how much pelvic cramping/discomfort is normal in early pregnancy? i'm only about a month along now, but i've had discomfort off and on for the past week (since right before my BFP). it's definitely no where near period cramping, but it's like pressure/discomfort/tightness. i know baby is getting all comfy in there and growing pretty quickly, so some cramping is normal, but this is my first time and i'm nervous! </p>
