Hello I am extrememly new to this my DH and I have been TTC for 18 months and after a cancelled IVF cycle I am now 6 weeks pregnant. I have however been feeling a bit of period like cramping that has been coming and going for the last couple of days and was wondering if this was normal or should I make another appointment to see my GP? I look forward to your responses

generally speaking, totally normal. The uterus is already beginning to stretch and enlarge to make room for the growing baby!! congratulations!!

Yep, I had it every day from4-6 weeks, then some more at 8 weeks. cramping with back pain just like my period was coming. No bleeding ever came and I've seen a healthy heartbeat 3 times. It's just your uterus stretching to make plenty of room. This post has been edited by Spring Chickadee: 02/04/2012, 05:17 PM

I got those pains with all three of my pregnancies. So it does happen in normal pregnancies. If it was real severe though I would see a care provider. Good luck.
