Is stomach pain/cramps normal when 6 weeks pregnant?
Yes this is totally normal, don't worry. I would only be concerned if there is spotting and cramping together, then you should see your midwife. I had a lot of cramps in the early weeks, so much so that i thought i was getting my period, but it was all normal thank God.
I've had them for weeks (only 5 weeks pregnant) I think its stretching etc.
Thanks don't feel so worried now
hey gill, im experiencing exactly the same and spoke to both midwife and gp to get different opinions. They both said exactly same thing, its ur uterus stretching and preparing itself for your baby growing so the cramps will feel like it does when ur on ur period. Congrats and i hope all goes well for u

yeh it is normal and woudnt worry bout drs apt as they don't do anything, literally I when I went in there, told her I was preg, she told me how far gone I was, gave me an envelope of info and then I was told to go reception and make apt with midwife so unless u have any issues, wudnt worry bout drs. xx
Thanks for all the comments the word stretching makes things pretty real lol x

I had normal period pain (but no bleeding) when my period was due....then after 4 days of 'no show' I did a test. Positive
For the next 3 weeks (on a thursday, which is normally when my period starts) I'd have period like pain for a couple of days.
Now nearly 11 weeks and all that nonsense has stopped
Thank God it's not just me I'm about 6 weeks and I'm experiences bad cramping and it was worrying me as didn't know if it was normal but reading all the comments have helped!
