in Pregnancy Period General by anonymous
Hi, I'm currently 4-5 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing cramping for the past 3 days. The cramps feel similar to period cramps and vary in intensity. Additionally, I feel a stretching sensation or heaviness in my womb. I had a miscarriage in the past, so I'm quite worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you.

Experiencing cramping during early pregnancy is actually quite common and can be attributed to various factors such as implantation, hormonal changes, or the uterus expanding to accommodate the growing fetus. It is important to note that not all cramping is a cause for concern, especially if it is mild and not accompanied by severe pain or bleeding. However, since you mentioned having a previous miscarriage, it's understandable that you're feeling anxious. It would be best to consult with your healthcare provider who can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and symptoms. They may recommend monitoring your symptoms closely or even scheduling an ultrasound to ensure everything is progressing well. Remember to take care of yourself physically and emotionally during this time and reach out for support from loved ones or online communities who may have gone through similar experiences.

Hi, 

Many congratulations on your pregnancy. I also am 5 weeks pregnant now and having similar symptoms. It feels like period pains with lot of lower abdominal crampings. I guess we don't have to worry much. Speak to your GN regarding this if it gets worse on your visit. I am hoping to visit my GN next week. Good luck.
