Cramping in Early Pregnancy

[expectant_mom]

I was just wondering how everyone else experienced cramping in the early stages of their pregnancy?  How long did you experience the cramping, did they come and go?  Did anyone have a weird taste in your mouth?  Also, I noticed at times I get dizzy fairly easy.  Is this pretty normal this early?  I am only 11 DPO according to my calculations.  I also had my first set of HCG levels and they were 64.7 on Monday (again retested today) and patiently awaiting those results.  Any advice my calm my nerves...

My cramps were like menstrual cramps, nothing unbearable, but fairly uncomfortable. Dizziness isn't something I experienced, but it IS normal as well. Good luck and congratulations!

I had cramping and stretching feelings every day in my first trimester and off and on during the second. They never lasted too long, and were never strong cramps, but noticeable and did make me worry. But, I've heard it's perfectly normal! It's stopped in my second trimester. I feel little cramps now and then but def. not as much. Hope this helps to ease your mind. I wouldn't worry unless they are heavy, long-lasting cramps with spotting.
I'm 16 weeks 2 days and still get dizzy all the time! Sounds normal to me!

I started cramping at 4 dpo and it lasted until I was like 12w...They came and went but at first, it was a constant at 4dpo.

I never had the weird taste but I did go through the light-headedness...

It all sounds very very normal...hang in there!

Cramping is completely normal and everyone gets it in early pregnancy. I can't really remember but I think it lasted most of the first trimester and then would come and go after that. As for the taste in your mouth is it kinda coppery like blood? If so that is also very normal. Dizziness could be from high blood pressure or anemia caused by pregnancy.
