First Trimester Cramping?

Anyone else experience uterine cramping in their first trimester? Everyday I notice cramping off and on. It feels like my uterus is stretching (which it is) but i was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? I have no bleeding and my first ultrasound is next Wednesday! I'll be 10 weeks on Monday!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the obly one then! When I get cramps I always associate that with a period so I get worried I may start bleeding. I can't wait for my ultrasound so I can stop being paranoid and make this pregnancy feel confirmed!

I'm 4wks +6d pregnant with my 5th child and have been experiencing cramping, never had it on any of my previous pregnancies, however I did have a threatened miscarriage on my 3rd but no pain with it just bleeding so was a little worried but after reading that I'm not alone I'm slightly more reassured that it's normal

I did that's actually how I found out I was pregnant cause I was cramping on a regular basis for two weeks (my cycle is very irregular so I wasn't concerned about "missing" it) I took multiple at home tests and they all said not pregnant I then went to the walk in clinic and they told me I was pregnant

Oh yes, I do too, very normal!   I felt if with my first, and am feeling it now with my second.   Your uterus doubles in size in the first eight weeks, and continues to stretch and grow.  It is scary at times though, right?!  Even though I know the answer it still worries me at times, but it shouldn't, it's expected.    & congratulations!  I'm 1.5 weeks behind you ❤️
