Bad cramps??

I am 5 weeks and I have been having the worst cramps! No bleeding but bad aches in my lower back and lower tummy. I didn't cramp like this with my boys is this normal?? I remember cramping like crazy before my miscarriage so I'm so worried right now. Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks!

It sounds normal to me. I had cramping with all three of my boys. It's from the uterus stretching/growing which can cause some cramping.

ive had this with all mine, honestly i think it gets worse the more babies you have, thats what ive found anyway!!

This is baby #4 so it makes sense that the more you have the more your body changes. Hopefully it doesn't last to long!

This is my 4th and this is the first I remember feeling cramping early on, freaked me out too but its apparently pretty normal. I'm 12 weeks now things are going still smooth.

Your welcome! Being pregnant is scary! Lol Even when your a pro and have done this before it's still hard not to worry when we can't see whats going on in there!

For what it's worth, I had AWFUL cramps at 5 to 6 weeks with my DD. Like thought I was miscarrying, called the nurse.

It was gas! Your body has a a rough time adjusting intestinally during those early weeks, and progesterone reaaally increases gas while your digestive system slows down and can't release it as easily.

Full disclosure, I had eaten like a bag of spinach too. DON'T do that.

I had that with a couple of my pregnancies. It's really shocking when it happens but it's just one of those weird things.
