Cramps

[JackieSue2013]

I am 29 and pregnant with my first baby.  I read that period like cramps are normal but I'm just wondering of anybody else is feeling them coming and going a lot like I am.  Its not really painful at all but I feel like I need to be careful with my movements so I don't hurt myself and have a miscarriage.  Anyone else feel this way?

Yep same issue with cramping. Doctor told me today that it is normal and that my uterus is stretching. She also mentioned that with it being my 4th pregnancy (2 live and 1 miscarriage last year) that I will have more cramping than normal. I go back for my ultrasound March 4 can't wait to make sure everything is going well. The cramping goes away when I relax and prop my feet up.

I am 29 too and FTM ... I found out I was pregnant 5 days before my missed period and was a little nervous when my period time came around but so far so good. Since then I have had feelings like menstrual cramps but they come and go. Everything I have read so far says it normal just your uterus growing and stretching.

I will be 5 weeks tomorrow and I'm not going to the doctors until next Monday. I am always running around too so trying to take it easy as much as I can till I see the dr.

Yes! Since like a couple days before my missed period and I'm 5 weeks  2 days now and I still feel them. I had a miscarriage in may 2014 so I take it easy which is hard because I'm always running around like a wild woman lol. I got my blood drawn on 4 weeks 5 days and it was 1062. I got it done today and I'm still waiting to hear from them. I'm going insane waiting to see if everything is progressing well! I heard it's normal to get these cramps on and off. Like its the stretching and pulling of everything getting ready for baby
