Im getting really bad period type cramps, my back is completly an utterly killing, and im getting cramps in my lower belly, where the usual period cramps are.

Im worrying.

Cramps are quite normal especially very early on! aslong aslong as ur not bleeding it should be fine, if ur worried phone ur doctor or midwife or if the cramps get any worse then go straight to a&e!
I'm sure u'll be fine. I this ur 1st baby?
this is my second and the cramps seemed worse this time round. x

i had bad cramps last week but now just seem to have a funny pain by my ribs.. if u have cramping in ur back could be a water work infection.
make a appointment with ur gp if it continues and they will send u up for a early scan to put ur mind at rest. i had one.. xx

Cramping is normal in the 1st trimester,I think we all had them.Some have more intensive and some less.

But if they turn severely ontensive and you notice something unusual,have it checked out...

i had cramps too and theyve seemed to have gone for now, i just have dull aches from time to time which the doc said is normal its just stretching xx

Have been in a&e all day. Phoned NHS Diret to put my mind at ease, and they told me to go to A&E, prevous miscarriage etc. I was greeted by a horrible assessment nurse, explaining if your miscarrying there is nothing we can do about it, to which my anger was unleased! Anyway, after approx 5 hours, was sent to fetal health for a scan, everything is fine with bug, although my dates have changed, and appears i am in fact approx 6 weeks, not 9. I have been told to have plenty of rest, and to stay off work for the rest of the week. They also commented about my stress levels, and they advise me to see the doctor if this gets worse and be signed off from work.

Luckily everything is ok, and i feel alot more postive.

Thanks for all your kind words of support and advice.

Sorry you had to go through that, but glad all was well in the end! I was told I was a week earlier at the scan, then a scan 2 weeks later said that my 1st date was correct! They seem to change every 5 minutes, so don't take what they say toomuch to heart!!!

Glad you went in to get checked out and everything is ok

sorry about that bitchy nurse. I cramped well into my 2nd trimester. It is pretty normal, totally nerve wracking, but normal.

My scan nurse told me I wasn't as far along either. My dr. said I knew when my last period was so we will go by our original date. So I would tentatively keep your original date. I am very happy that baby is fine. You should get a lot of rest though. I know you were worried about your work situation, but try to relax.
