“Period” cramps?

Hey guys, so I feel like I’ve had some pregnancy like symptoms over the past week or so and I’ve had a strong “feeling” that this could be it however today I’ve experienced some pains that feel like period cramps. Is this normal in early pregnancy or is it likely to be my period? I’m due in a few days.

I've had some mild cramps/twinges in early pregnancy. It could be implantation cramps. I've been told it's common to feel something going on down there.
Fingers crossed for you ❤️

i thought it was normal implantation cramps, later found out it was ectopic. take a test and see a doctor just incase!

I cramped my entire 1st trimester and sometimes it felt like period cramps but everything was just growing and stretching!

I was convinced I was going to start my period when I was in fact pregnant - I couldn’t believe it when I got a positive test! As Jessica says, I also had period like cramps during the first trimester. Good luck! xx

Thank you so much everyone!! I feel a lot better today, cramping is still there but not as bad!! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 xx

I had cramping the first 8 weeks of pregnancy on and off

Good luck Tiffany

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before 😫

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

7 w post c-section running

When is it ok to start running again? Health visitor advised to wait longer before running but did anyone start at 7 weeks and how?
I know I won't be running marathons any time soon and probably have to start back at a couch to 5k but when?! I'm getting restless legs! Advice please

Movements at 31 weeks

Does anyone else feel like their movements are more subtle since being further along in the pregnancy? I can feel my baby moving inside my belly but I don't feel the movements as "strong" when I put my hand on my belly. Not sure if it's because they've changed from "kicking" to "rolling" movements.

Anyone else feel the same?
