Strong period like pain that comes and goes (possible miscarriage ?)

[Laurens95]

I have been getting a strong period like pain in the centre of my womb it’s not agony but it’s sore , it’s not constant like period but it’s every now and again enough to make me tense up.. so far no blood yet does this sound like am gonna miscarry

Cramping isn't necessarily bad news. I had quite strong cramps during the 2ww and early pregnancy. It's pretty normal, there's a lot going on in there and the uterus is starting to stretch out. I hope that's all that's going on with yours. It's so hard not to worry, isn't it? Especially when it's been a tough journey to get to this point. Hope everything is alright xxx

Yeah I’m so worried that I will miscarry as it took me 3 and a half years to get pregnant not so simple as falling pregnant again 😢

How far along are you? I've had on and off 'period pains' so far during my pregnancy (I'm just hitting 20 weeks). I've called the midwife several times and been told not to worry. So much is going on down there as your body is so busy.

If you do have any blood and your past 6 weeks head to your Early Care Pregnancy unit for a scan so they can see whats going on.

Try to keep yourself distracted as its impossible not to worry. It does get easier as the days and weeks go on as you start to believe it might actually be true.

Wishing you all the luck xxx

Do you have your variability scan booked in? Just a few weeks and should be able to see a lovely prawn looking thing with a beating heart. Congrats on your news. We have to celebrate every milestone. Each week is a new milestone and the early weeks go the slowest!

Yeah 3 weeks 😬 hopefully everything is fine and thanks you

Cramping is normal stretchy heavy belly bloating feeling etc

It is hard not to worry I’m 10w had a scan at 6w but I’ve had 3 mc at 12w so the worry’s going to be there for weeks at least still. Hopefully your scan will help your stress abit.
