im 10 weeks pregnant now, when i was 5-6 weeks i had pains exactly the same so had a early scan it turned out to be a cyst that the egg came from and is normal as will shrink n should dissapear by 12th week as thats where baby gets its nutrients until placenta is completely formed! hope this helped :-)

I'm now in my 14th week and I had experienced the same pains from weeks 4 to 12. I asked my midwife about it and she said to stay hydrated, as dehydration can cause cramping. It can also be caused by the stretching uterus and the shift of your organs getting adjusted to pregnancy. Typically, as long as there is no fever, or blood, or other accompanying symptoms, then you should be fine.
