Sounds like round ligament pain. If the cramping gets any worse or is accompanied by bleeding you need to go to the hospital or see a doctor.

i'm 4w4d today and for the last few days i can wake up with and during the day have very dull cramps in the uterus area. tonight i had some weird shooting pains along my left hip bone. not quite sure what to think, but just so you know someone else has cramps too :)

A lot happens in early pregnancy, the uterus prepares to carry and that involves stretching...which feels like cramping, twinges and quick sharp pains. Rlp is a little later on, when the uterus actually has some growth/weight to it causing those ligaments to stretch and support it better. It all sounds normal for ur gestation, provided it doesnt become intense and involve bleeding, u should be ok. U could call ur doctor in the am if it'll help ease ur mind...it can make ya crazy pretty quick, thats for sure!!

It's totally normal. I had AF like cramping with both of my pregnancies. With my first, it was so severe I went to the er. At your stage, it's just the uterus beginning to stretch.

Been having the same thing happening to be since 14 dpo. 17 dpo today an still having them. Like others have said it's just everything stretching out preparing to carry our beautiful babies :) Firsttimemommy30 yours sound just like mine!
