Cramps in early pregnancy - should I worry?

I am 4-5 weeks pregnant and I have mild cramps. They feel like before I would get my period… Is this normal or should I worry?? No bleeding thank God!🙏🏼

Cramps are completely normal. I had what kind of felt like period cramps till I was 12 weeks pregnant and then they went away. It’s your body just a little bit in shock that there’s a tiny human in you and trying to rearrange everything but it is completely normal

thank you!🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

No problem it freaked me out to when I was early on pregnant with my son

If it’s your first it’s most likely due to everything moving and stretching. Am pregnant with my second and haven’t felt much cramping during this pregnancy x

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
