Dont worry the cramps do settle down at about 12 weeks aswell as the boobs hurting the bad news is at about 30 weeks it comes back with avengence so you do get a few weeks of feeling like a human. Im 31+5 weeks along now and feeling like a whale lol. Drs say to only take paracetemol during the next 40 weeks which does sod all in my opinion but speak with your dr if they are really bad. Good luck ladies and congrats x

I had that too when I first found out. I'm a little over 10 weeks now and my boobs hurt and I had really bad cramps too. Things seem to have subsided some for me, but everyone is different.

Ibuprofen isn't good for the baby. I had that in my first pregnancy and they gave me percocet. Some women are more sensitive to implantation than others.
