My cramping stopped today and I'm only 5weeks. Is this normal?
I know that cramping was normal and I had that the last 2 weeks, but now it's stopped which is almost worrying me more. I'm afraid that it's a bad sign. Am I overreacting?
No bleeding is a good thing, so good to hear that. You could cramp through out your pregnancy and I did, but I was spotting during some of it. Nothing to worry about, just always talk to your doctor when in doubt. I loved my first appointment with the ultra sound, enjoy it, it goes fast. It's amazing to watch the progression of the baby, from a pea with a heart beat to a baby. Once last thing is to always contact your doctor when something doesn't feel right to you. They understand and will do what they need to do to help you. ALways tell them you are cramping at each visit because they will just make sure your cervic is closed which you want them to make sure.. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOURS AND GOD BLESS, enjoy the experience!!!
Cramping is normal at this stage, as long as you don't have any bleeding at all, you should be fine and the cramping isn't that intense. I'm 35 weeks and it's my first as well, so I understand the concern, I have been spotting through out my pregnancy and cramping. What I would do, is watch for bleeding, if your spotting call your doctor. Not much they can do other then tell you to go on bed rest for a little while. I think you should be fine and when in doubt, do what I did get some more pregnancy tests and keep them on hand and if you feel the need to check, take another test. It will at the very least ease your mind. Good luck !
Thanks so much! Of course since I've written that, the cramping has returned although now it's primarily at night when I'd like to be sleeping. No spotting to report though which makes me feel good. I have my first appt at the Dr. on the 4th. Cannot wait to have it all confirmed that it's going to be fine!
