I had period like pains the whole way through my pregnancy so it can be normal but if your anxious there’s no harm in getting checked out to put your mind at ease

Sounds perfectly normal to me but you should always get checked if you're worried as stress can cause problems for you and baby xx

Ngl I’m 19, 29 weeks and it’s nv hurts to get it checked out or just inform your doctor and see what they say. They should have an on call 24/7

Btw congratulations🎉🎊

I’ve had period like cramps on and off through first trimester and heard it’s common. However mine were not as intense as first day of my period if that makes sense? Like I didn’t have to take pain medication. I would say if you feel they are very severe you should double check with your doctor.

I had cramps and a bit of brown blood for the first 11 weeks of my pregnancy. It scared me to death but all was fine in the end. I would contact your early pregnancy unit though since you are saying the cramps are intense. They will ask you some questions and may bring you in to the hospital for a scan. I paid for a private scan at 7 weeks because I was worried and that put me at ease for a week or two before i ended up ringing the early pregnancy unit for another check.
