New mum to be

[ktlou36]

Hi everyone, I have just found out I am pregnant and it's my first baby. I'm 27 and I'm about 5 weeks. I have had serious cramping and very light brown spotting, is this normal? Also feeling nausea and wondering what week does that stop?! Thanks guys x

Im almost 6 weeks.since i was due for my period i was having cramping each day.it has now calmed down. My doc said it is my uterus stretching.

The doctors said I'm not far enough along to even worry! As if they didn't really care. Hopefully it's just nothing, I have read a lot of people have it and like you say have normal pregnancies x

If you're having bad cramping you should get checked out.

Severe cramping and spotting isn't "normal", but a lot of women get it and go on to have healthy pregnancies.  As long as you don't need a pad, I wouldn't worry.  The nausea will stop around week 12-14. If you're lucky.
