Probably just stretching pains. The uterus grows from around the size of a plum to the size of a small watermelon in the first 12 weeks!!! The uterus is surrounded by muscles that attach to your abdomen and back etc. This can cause some of these pains.

Thanks poppy I did not know that it grew to a size of a watermelon in 12 weeks. I shall try not to worry so much now. x

I've been getting little pains too, but coming and going, only very light.
But my midwife said it's just your body changing, makin room for the little one.
Hehe, don't worry. x

I got them a lot at your stage. They were almost period-like but not as severe. Probably stretching pains as the others have said

I had terrible cramps for the first few weeks - I was in tears a few times. They have really settled down now and they just feel like a mild period pain.

I'm having cramps pretty much all the time as well (am nearly 6 wks pg). They're fairly mild compared to my normal period pains but they're still definitely there! I'm having a small panic everytime I go to the loo but so far so good - it's hard work this pregnancy lark!

I get more pain now than I did in the first few weeks. I think it's stretching though, I was worried 1 day and asked my lecturer and she said it's fine and it's gonna just get worse. haha.
