5 week cramps

I have the same and have been told to take paracetamol :) I’m also getting a scan (NHS) tomorrow just to make sure everything is fine, although they say it is probably perfectly normal.

thank you, I’ve booked a private scan in 2 weeks, I’ve not heard anything from my GP/midwife service, I’ve put my self referral in, do I wait for them to contact me?

it’s the early pregnancy assessment unit (midwife gave me the number but you can also Google it) and they have been great, they are there for any concerns in first trimester such as pain or bleeding :)

thank you, I’ll have a look into this 🙂 x

I'm 6 weeks and I'm having horrendous cramps and bad back ache I'm so worried I get my scan In 2 weeks do u have any other symptoms its so hard not to worry xx

I’m nearly 6 weeks and have had some cramping and backache. No bleeding though. 2nd pregnancy and don’t remember any of this the first time! My boobs don’t hurt at all this time, I guess because the pipe work is all in there from before… 12 weeks feels a really long way away. Might try and pay for an early scan to put my mind at ease

sorry to hear you’re having cramps as well, they aren’t nice at all! I’ve booked in a scan at 7 weeks (private) just to make sure everything is okay, but yes definitely hard not to worry! I’ve started with some minor headaches a bit yesterday and today as well xx

my boobs don’t hurt much either, this is my first pregnancy so I just don’t know what’s right and wrong at the point. Yes I would, I’ve booked a dating scan privately at 7 weeks which will hopefully just give me piece of mind x

thank you for the reassurance 🩷 xx

I’m 5+3 and have been getting the worst cramps at night too! This is also my first so no idea what to expect. I went to Whittington NHS early pregnancy unit a couple of days ago and they did a scan and said everything is normal and to take paracetamol if needed - mine come on so suddenly though and are gone within 15mins so not much point in paracetamol! I’ve found having ice packs by my bed helpful and I just put one wherever feels good to ease pain. Maybe also try a walk in to put your mind at rest?

I did one at 8 weeks with my first pregnancy! Definitely worth the money too x
