Avatar f tn I am also 5 weeks but without cramps... This is my second baby...for my first son...I had a lot of menstrual like cramps early in my pregnancy.
Avatar f tn During the earliest stages of pregnancy some women mistake the cramping for their menstrual cycle. This could be due to the fact that they may experience a little spot bleeding too. Spotting and cramping are classic symptoms of implantation, which occurs when the fertilized egg attaches itself to the lining of the uterus. In most cases, the spotting disappears within two or three days, but the cramping remains. What Causes Cramping During Early Pregnancy?

709912 tn?1229203300 It might be early labor. I have read where premature labor can feel like menstrual cramps. It could also be Braxton hicks but Im not sure. If you have more than 4 cramps an hour, you should call your OB ASAP. That is what the OB nurse told me on Friday when I was having contractions showing on the monitor, although I didn't feel them.

170623 tn?1242664063 Cramping is completely normal and everyone gets it in early pregnancy. I can't really remember but I think it lasted most of the first trimester and then would come and go after that. As for the taste in your mouth is it kinda coppery like blood? If so that is also very normal. Dizziness could be from high blood pressure or anemia caused by pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Are period cramps usually in the same place as pregnancy cramps? My period is due fairly soon and I have mild cramps but there's no spotting. Had unprotected sex two weeks ago.

Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced menstrual like cramps early in pregnancy? I am almost 6 weeks and have off and on menstrual like cramps anywhere from my sides to my pelvic area. I had an ovarian cyst rupture recently so I was told the pain in my side came from the fluid left around my ovaries and that it would take care of itself. It has been 11 days since the cyst ruptured but I still occasionally have pain.

Avatar f tn I cramp slightly ( not as intense as menstrual cramps) on and off. My ob says as long as there is no bleeding or spotting, in early pregnancy cramps are normal due to the uterus increasing size to hold pregnancy.
7551604 tn?1392930411 For a couple weeks before I delivered I had bad menstural like cramps. I'm pretty sure it's practice contractions because early contractions when I was in labor for me felt similar. My doctor said it was normal. It got pretty intense one night and consistent for a few days. I thought it was gonna go somewhere but it didn't lol. I took Tylenol and waited it out.
