Is mild cramping every once and awhile normal in early pregnancy?

Is mild cramping every once and awhile normal in early pregnancy?

I've just been feeling a little bit uncomfortable....not a lot....just, not that great.  A few small aches and stuff.  I'm not quite 5 weeks.  Is this normal?

Yes, very normal. It is your uterus stretching. I had it and so did most women on here in early pregnancy. Normal, but annoying. Hopefully it won't last long for you. As long as you have no bleeding you are fine. Congrats (if I haven't said so already)!

Hi - I'm 15 wks now and have had mild cramping on and off.  Most noticeably between wks 5 and 7 (with light pink/brown spotting), then at wks 13 and 14.  I only spotted between wks 5 & 7, and the ob though it was implantation bleeding that she says finally makes the trip out of you around wk 6.  So, long story short is that mild cramping is normal, very normal - this comes straight from my ob.  Congratulations on the pg!!!!

I remember feeling the same way.  What you are feeling is normal.  If the cramping gets severe I would call the doctor.  Good luck to you!!

depends on where the cramping is, i think. i didnt have any abdominal cramps at all, but had plenty of stretching in the groin area, where your crotch and legs connect (i'm sure there was a better way to phrase that....)

absolutly, BUT any concern is worth the mention to your OB...I'm 31 weeks and have had cramping all thru the pregnancy..God bless and good luck :-)

It's gone away for now....sometimes it feels like pulling or stretching....and honestly, it almost feels like a bladder infection...... very mild....but scary nonetheless since i've miscarried before.

I have no spotting, but I am on progesterone suppositories.  Sometimes I get a little discharge from that.
