cramping but no bleed??????

**Farmgirl** · 04-09-2008 20:20

Hi there,

I am in now 6 weeks and tuesday night i had cramping which lasted a couple of minutes.

My hubby called the radio dr, when he finally came he checked me over and everything was fine, he told me to bed rest for a couple of days, which is what i have been doing and i have not had any cramps since.

I have had no bleeding at all.

Does anyone else get this??????

It could be your uterus stretching and getting ready to grow and do it's thing. I got it for the first trimester for both my pregnancies.

Farmgirl!

first congrats on your pregnancy.....how exciting!! You give me hope with ivf, we just had transfer on our first ivf cycle i hope we are as lucky as you. With my DS i had cramping and i was told the same "lots of rest" Having no bleeding is a good sign. all the best

Thats great my sister said the same that it's probably my uterus (she has 3 boys)

Maisymum - there is hope with IVF, there's a few customers at my work that have done ivf and they all have beautiful children.
When i had my ET is all i did was pray that it works and it did.
If you go crazy in the 2ww you can PM me as i will be home for the rest of the week.

I have had period like pain/cramping every 3-4 weeks for the whole pregnancy and it's been fine... it is more than likely your uterus stretching... take it easy if you can.

Could be a lot of things...early pregnancy brings a myriad of aches and pains. My guess would be bad gas...sounds lame, but I sometimes get gas cramps that can buckle me over...and they only last a few mins. Im sure its fine

congratulations

like the other said sounds like a normal pregnancy symptom

**cassvanm** · 04-09-2008 22:28

I agree with the others. I would only really be concerned if it was constant, intensifying or with blood loss.
I wish you all the best, and congrats on your BFP

Thanks everyone for all your replies, you have all made me feel so much better.

Being the first pregnancy i spose everyone worries over just the slightest thing, funny though.

I had such severe cramping in my 1st pregnancy at around 6 weeks that I was rushed to ER. It happened a few times but I went on to have a beautiful little girl!

Good look with your pregnancy
