5 weeks pregnant - symptoms come/go
I have had period like cramps which dr said is normal (which went the day after I spoke to the dr) and my tender breasts aren't so tender any more. I have to prod them to check they still are tender.....
I'm worrying as I've a history of losses and wanted to check that it's all normal.

I'm 4 weeks today and in the same boat. Breasts aren't as sore as they were, but I keep feeling tiny twinges in my uterus. The last time I carried a baby to term was 8 years ago, so I feel like I've forgotten everything.
The only thing I can tell you is that symptoms will come and go and that's perfectly normal. If you're feeling extra anxious, ask your OB if you can get weekly bloodwork done so you can see your numbers go up. It won't eliminate all of the worry, but it will give you peace of mind.
Some women skate through pregnancy with little to no symptoms. Others throw up for a full 9 months. Heck, I had m/s while I was in early labor!
Try to relax--I know this is easier said than done, but your body knows what it's doing. Gentle hugs to you!
