Mine felt like dull period type cramps and a bit of pressure low down. I kept wondering if it was normal. Did urs feel the same kind of heaviness too?

Anindita Rawal · Answer

I felt a heavy, slightly bloated and crampy feeling low down, almost like my period was about to come but it never did. It made me anxious at first. The doctor said that fullness is normal early on.

Usually its a mild pulling, bloated or crampy feeling as the uterus starts stretching. Totally normal in early weeks. But if it becomes sharp pain or comes with bleeding, then call ur doctor.

A bit of heaviness and mild cramps low down is common beta, body is adjusting. Just rest and dont panic over every twinge. Strong pain though, get that checked.
