Bit worried is this normal?!

nictickle19 · Dec 24th, 2009, 12:25 PM

Hi everyone,

Im four weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy, Im really worried today as I've got cramps as if Im about to get a period and I've been having brown spotting all day.

I've spoken to my doctor who says try not to worry but its easier said than done!

Has anyone else had this? Is it normal?

Thanks

Yeah, it is normal. Brown blood is old blood so not worrisome. Crampy feelings are generally stretching and your uterus adjusting. Spotting and cramping are both very common in early pg.

Good luck!

Hi:-)

i am also 4wks and i have been having AF style cramps for a wk now. It is the baby burrowing in and the womb making room for what is to come apparantly... ;-)
As regards the spotting, iv not had that but it can be common to bleed lightly as the baby implants etc so try not to stress too much(yeah i knw easier said than done) and relax cos stress wnt do u or the baby any good in the early mths.

It'll just be implantation bleeding and stretching pans these are perfectly normal x

Thanks Brookie G, I was starting to panic cos some of the blood has been more red and still having cramps.

Trying not to be stressed! I know that won't help!

I'm sure it is all completely fine! Like the others have said spotting and cramping can be common. Hell my best friend bled heavily for the first 14 weeks of preg - but obviously if things are worrying you then go and get checked out at an early pregnancy unit! Lots of love xxx

I am having the exact same thing today!! 4 weeks today and I am having mild menstrual cramps...well what feels AF cramps anyway. I also had just a little tiny hint of pink, but from everything I've read this all seems normal!
Merry Christmas!! Lets try not to stress! xx
