Im 5 weeks and getting these mild cramps that feel exactly like my periods are about to start. Its making me nervous bcoz i keep checking for any spotting. Did anyone else feel this in early pregnancy?
Yes, mild period like cramps are common in early pregnancy as the uterus stretches and the embryo settles in. I felt them both times and panicked the first time for nothing. But if cramps are severe or come with bleeding, ring your gynac.
Mild ones can be normal, but I had cramping with spotting once and got it checked right away, which I am glad I did. Dont ignore strong or one sided pain. When in doubt, just call your gynac to be safe.
I had cramps just like my period in the early weeks and was so scared something was wrong. My doctor said it was normal stretching. Did others feel exactly like PMS too? It really confused me.
