I know how you feel!!! I am 7 weeks today and still get cramps for a couple of days every week. I've been through losses before and that makes me think it's going to end any minute now...but I'm still going!!!
My advise is, take it one day at a time. Cramping is normal to some extent and you're not alone. Just to make sure, talk to your doctor for peace of mind (easier said than done!!)
Best of luck!!!!!

Thank you sorry to hear about your losses and congratulations on your pregnancy. I haven't experienced a loss that I know of that's why I'm so worried this time around.im just taking it one day at a time like you say and dream of a time I can relax and enjoy it! X

I had cramps all through the first trimester and the baby is/was totally fine. It is extremely common to feel cramping because the uterus has to grow so much. Please try not to worry about it.

I had cramps until almost 7 weeks pregnant. Cramping is very normal and can happen throughout your pregnancy due to your uterus stretching to accommodate Baby.
I was told that as long as the pain is not localized (not in one specific area like near an ovary) and that there is no blood accompanying the cramping, there isn't anything to worry about.
Congratulations, and make sure to take it easy if you're worried!

Hey! The best thing you can do for you and your growing baby is stop panicking. I am also 4 weeks and 4 days and I have on and off cramping as well. Sometimes I feel it on the side I ovulated from, sometimes my abdomen in general and sometimes on the left side. I have read up on this as well and it is normal. If you have severe cramps with bleeding then I would worry and call the doctor. Overall enjoy this wonderful experience and focus on that not all the little aches and pains cause that is not healthy for you or your bean :)
