Pregnancy #6

Hi ladies!
So I just found out a week ago yesterday I am pregnant with baby #6 (I have two living daughters and 3 angels). I am only a little over 5 weeks, and have been having lower back pain and occasional cramping in my left and right side which seems to ease up when lying down.  I dont remember this with my other pregnancies especially so early. Is this normal?! Its been 3 yrs since my last little one was born.  Since I am high risk and am having a hell of a time getting an appt I am nervous...any kind words of reassurement would be nice :)

I too am having cramping. I believe I am about 6weeks +3.  First doctors appointment is this morning at 8am. In addition to the occassional cramping in the morning I seem to have a very light pink/brown discharge, but very little and only once a day. This is my 3rd pregnancy but the first two did not carry to term so looking forward to hearing what the doctor has to say. Hoping I have ultrasound due to high risk. I will be asking questions and will let you know what they say. Drink lots of water and try to relax

Hi I'm also pregnant with baby #6 nd I have those symptoms u have nd I'm 5 weeks nd 1 day .I told my doctor nd he said to just try to stay off my feet as much as possible. But I know IT's hard cause of our Kids but my best advice is to try not to be to much on your feet.    Good luck....when are u due?

I actually had the exact same symptoms with this pregnancy (#3), which my Dr thought it was pregnancy and sure enough, I was pregnant. I'm now 37+5 weeks pregnant and still feel the cramping, but baby is fine. I too, didn't remember having them with my other pregnancies. Hope everything turns out well for you.

I'm almost 8 weeks and I still have back pain. And it only gets better when I lay down. Try to not do much. Also I'm a heavy girl so that has a lot to do with it.
