Cramps??

I just visited the doctor to confirm my pregnancy on Wednesday and I was 4 weeks 2 days but I've been cramping for going on 2 weeks and it just keeps getting worse...any ideas on if it's bad? I know with implantation there usually cramping but the fact that it keeps getting worse is worrying me.

I had really bad cramps in the first trimester my midwife said that it was just my ligaments stretching as my uterus grows but talk to your midwife about it or doctor. Could also be constipation? ?

I had loads of cramping early on, get a hot water bottle filled with warm water and have it on your back or sides. Avoid having it directly on your belly for more than 10 mins at a time but go ahead if the cramps are really bad xx

I'm 5 weeks today going by my first day of my last period... I've got cramping and didn't know it was normal until I read up on it. It's your body changing. If you are that worried see a midwife or doctor they can assure you that everything is fine :)

I've been cramping super bad too and it sounds like our due dates are very close together! I'll wake up at four am Bc they hurt so bad. I normally go take a hot bath and that helps me.

When the uterus stretches it feels like menstrual cramps, mine were a but stronger than regular menstrual cramps. If they get unbearable I would call the doctor just to be safe.

It could be your uterus growing/expanding
