Cramping

Hi everyone. I found out last week that I am pregnant with my first baby after 4 days of cramping. I have now been cramping for a week and a half. It is really painful. On and off but i need painkillers and heat packs to take away the pain.
Is this normal?

I'm 5 weeks today and have been cramping for past 4 day and had some spotting... I have been told it can be normal and not to worry unless spotting becomes heavy.
Hopefully it is just implantation/our wombs adjusting 🤞🏼
Wishing you all the best... If you're worried, contact your doctor x

I had bad cramping for like the first 6 weeks of pregnancy too. X

Hey there i am experiencing the same if you look it up its normal. But so painful x

I was the same too! Implantation can cause this!

If you are worried, go and see the doc, it can never hurt to get checked out for peace of mind! x

I had cramping for about a week thinking it was pms but found out I'm 4 weeks pregnant and still having cramps. This is my first too and I'm currently under the early pregnancy Unit at my local hospital having checks done this week to make sure everything is okay. I've been told it's normal but because it's my first they are checking everything for me x

I had the same in my pregnancy - it felt like I was about to start my period!!
Can be normal but I’d say if you’re worried call your GP 💓

I’ve been the same and panicking a bit but I’ve heard it’s quite normal x

Thank you everyone. That gives me some reassurance. I will speak to my Dr as well. Just difficult to work at the moment and not raise suspicion!

Cramping is really normal and most people experience it in early pregnancy, however (and not to scare you or anything) it can be a symptom of an ectopic pregnancy if you're in a lot of pain so maybe get that checked out xx
