Cramping!

[IslandLadiie]

I'm just about 5 weeks in, and experiencing cramping. Nothing too severe though, is this normal?

I have honestly cramped ever day for 21 weeks. Its normal. Everything in ur body is changing and growing. Just don't stress. If it gets to bad call ur Dr.

Thanks guys, I'm a little more at ease. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for any spotting/ bleeding.

I had a fair bit a cramping early on which has continued throughout my pregnancy; I'm now 21 weeks. Listen to your body, a lot is going on so mild cramping can just mean adjusting. If it gets *painful* or if there is bleeding, evening spotting, go to the hospital. Otherwise don't worry, its just cramping. Check out round ligament pain

Cramping alone doesn't generally mean m/c, it is when you also have bleeding.

^^Not usually. Especially if it is only mild cramping. Just keep an eye on it and try to breath. :)
Mild cramping is pretty normal. I had some cramping that early and now I'm 33 weeks.
Just in case, try to take it easy, though.

Cramping without the bleeding can mean miscarriage as well? I don't know, now I'm getting worried.

From week 4-9 i was crampy and my dr said as long as theres no blood its ok because ur bodies got to stretch for the baby, im 16 weeks and still cramp once in a while

Cramping can be a sign of miscarriage,  but it can also be normal. Going to the doctor would do nothing.  Unless you have severe cramps and bleeding I would take a wait and see approach.
