tightening abdominal muscle

[tcover]

OK, so according to the Dr at my last appt I measured 4-5 weeks. That was Oct 17. Unfortunately that goes against what we had calculated before which would have put me at exactly 6 weeks. Needles to say I've had slight cramping this whole time and if I'm active for a little while and sit down, when I get up it feels almost like a 30 sec. Charlie horse in my abdomen. My next appt is on Halloween and I'm sure it's nothing to worry about but I thought I'd get some opinions/input from others.

Tightening*

I experienced an aching feeling during that time but no fighting..

Cramping is completely normal. It's the uterus stretching to accommodate the growing fetus.
This is my #2 baby and I know from experience.
Use a hot water bottle, have a lye down and Paracetamol can help.

I had a lot of cramping in the first few weeks of pregnancy. I also felt like my skin was being pulled

Cramping is normal the first weeks 4-8 even some kind of pinkish mocus too don't worry

At 6weeks u will experience stretching and light cramping that's normal. U have to remember ur uterus is now expanding organs are moving higher these period like symptoms are normal and will increase at time moves on

I am no expert on pregnancy, considering I am only on my first pregnancy 26 weeks, but at 6 weeks I don't think you should be having any type of contraction or Braxton Hicks. If I were you I would call your doctor just to let them knowin case something is not going right.
