Hey. I'm at 5 weeks 5 days, and I've been feeling something similar for about a week and a half. It's normal to experience cramping, as long as you're not bleeding. Congrats! I would try not to worry so much (I know, it's hard to try!) and enjoy being pregnant!

Thanks Felurian,
I think you're right, I just need to not be so paranoid it's just so hard to read all the negative things there are about pregnancy and not be worried! But I'm just gonna not think about it and congrats to you too btw! :)

You will also cramp during the times when you skip a period. I've only missed three so far and it just now went away. The first two months when I should have gotten my period if I wasn't prego I cramped just like I normally did during AF. Usually a growing uterus that causes the ligaments around it to stretch and thin out has a little different pain, more like a jabbing pain usually on one side of the stomach or the other rather than the normal cramps. But then again everyone is different and as long as your cramps aren't extremely severe and followed by bleeding or spotting then you're ok :) congrats btw!!

Thanks airforcewife!

I'm finally calmed down and realizing after research and asking those who've experienced it that it is normal. Thank you so much I am so excited for this journey :) congrats to you too! Can't wait to be as far along as you! Lol

Congrats ladies

Yep 4 weeks 4 days here due 15 July. Exact same symptoms for a little less than a week

Hi ladie, thank goodness I'm not imagining the cramping, I am 5 weeks pregnant and am starting to experience severe wind, I can't eat spicy food anymore, had BBQ chicken wings Wednesday and got bunged up, my wind was there but couldn't be released, anyone else experiencing this?
I'm due July 21 first child after having an mc 10 years ago sooooo I will probably drive ye mad with my symptoms.

To all of us
