Question

I am 5 weeks pregnant and i am having light cramping. Is it normal?

Answer 1

me too~! i am 4.5 weeks and i am convinced that i am going to start my period any minute because its just like period cramp. but 9 positive tests seem to disagree with my theory"!! if you start to bleed contact your GP asap.

good luck

Answer 2

I experienced light aches and pains and even some light spotting when I was about 6-7 weeks gone. I contacted my GP and was sent for an early scan and everything was fine.

A friend of mine has also experienced the same thing at around the same weeks gone so I would say it's fairly common and probably not cause for concern.

If you are worried call your GP and talk with him/her.

If you experience bleeding and/or very bad pains get help straight away.

Good luck :)

Answer 3

I was told that light cramping is normal and even women sometimes spot from time to time. If it is heavy cramping with a ton of blood go to the ER.

Answer 4

Perfectly normal!  There are a lot of hormonal changes going on and your uterus and starting to stretch in preparation for the growing baby.  As long as your aren't having any bleeding, it's just fine and very common.  Try to rest and drink lots of water.  That does seem to help some.

Congrats!
