Yes, I have had cramping since 5 weeks, but uterine only, not lower back. I am 9 weeks now and still get occasional cramps, but not as many or not as intense. Some were very sharp and painful, but it was all normal and just my uterus stretching. So it can be normal. I am hesitant to say this bc I don't want to cause unnecessary worry, the only time I personally experienced back crampimg too was before I miscarried last pg. but that is just me and my experience, I'm not sure if the back cramps are a normal sign or not. Best wishes to you!

Thank you! Maybe the mild back ache (lower) is just accompanied by the cramping going on and my uterus stretching, hopefully not a MC! But best wishes to you and good luck on your pregnancy.

I've heard women getting their first bfp after their period was two weeks late. So if it does not come a week from today I'm going to contact a doctor. Thanks ladies for the advice.

I had some light cramps/pressure every day from about 8 or 9 DPO til now at 6 weeks. My lower back started being a little achey last week. I have read that it is due to your back and stomach muscles loosening to prepare for growth in the coming months.
