5 weeks 4 days aches and pains

[jungofam4]

I'm close to 6 weeks now and today I started wiht lower cramps and back pain? Is this normal, I mean i should probably know what all this means since i have to kids but its been such a long time since my last baby.... Could it bee from all the bending and picking up after my kids? I'm a little worried, i also sit at a desk all day. But it just feel like cramps and back pain... any advice would help

Cramps and lower back discomfort can be normal pregnancy symptoms, yes. Especially if you have other little ones to care for and especially in subsequent pregnancies because your uterus is "seasoned" and knows what to do. Think of a balloon that is inflated and then deflated over and over again. The more it is inflated the easier it is to inflate again and again.
