Im a week away from my period and feeling this heaviness and mild ache in my lower abdomen. It feels a little different from my usual pre period cramps somehow. Could this be an early pregnancy thing or am i overthinking?
Mild lower cramps can be early pregnancy or just your period, hard to tell from pain alone. A test after the missed period is the only way to know. Dont diagnose from one symptom.
Mild ache can be normal, but if its sharp, one sided or with bleeding, please dont wait, see the gynac. I learned that the hard way. Trust your instinct if the pain feels too strong.
I felt a mild dull ache in my lower tummy early on and mistook it for my period coming. It can be a sign, the uterus is adjusting. But honestly it felt just like PMS for me until I tested.
A little pulling in the lower belly is often normal in early days, beta. But it could also just be period cramps, so take a test to be sure. Severe pain needs a doctor though.
