Im 5 weeks and getting these mild period like cramps on and off. Not very painful but they keep coming back which is making me anxious. how long did urs last? trying not to panic.
My doctor said mild cramping that lasts minutes here and there is normal as the uterus grows. The warning sign is cramps that are severe, steady, one sided, or come with bleeding. Those she said to report immediately.
Mild on and off cramps in early weeks are very normal, the uterus is just stretching. Mine came and went for a few weeks and I worried for nothing. As long as they are light and not constant, it is usually okay.
Light brief cramps are fine, but if they get strong, persistent or come with spotting, dont wait. I learned to take strong cramps seriously. A quick call to your gynac is always worth it.
