Cramps

Hello I just find out I'm 6weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. Is it normal to experience cramps like your about to get a period.

Yep! With my first I had them a ton in the first trimester and scattered throughout. This pregnancy I'm 6 weeks tomorrow and have been having them again. Your body is just preparing and expanding for the upcoming months

Yes, pretend your body is playing fort and you're building that home for your little one. Takes a lot of time, energy and building material. Sadly it also comes with aches and pains, I blame the support beams.

I have them too and thought it was PMS, turns out I'm pregnant. No bleeding though. I did bleed previously and the pregnancy didn't continue itself - this was years ago

My first sign was super sore and swollen boobs like 1 week b4 my period. Then the cramps came, but I've always had super bad period cramps.. To the point where they would sometimes makes me puke.. But these were a cake walk in comparison!!!!

Glad to hear from others having cramps and know it's not unusual. I'm 5 weeks and have had moderate cramps all this week.

I'm 33 weeks and have cramped the entire time. It has just got worse and worse the further I go. It's normal. No worries.
