Anyone experience this?

This is my 2nd pregnancy. I don't remember feeling this but I have a dull ache on my pelvis area starting this morning. I am only 4 weeks pg so won't have an ultrasound until at least next week (I am frequently monitored because I am seeing an RE).  Should I worry?  Did anyone else ever feel this?

I felt a lot more achy/crampy/stretchy really early on in this pregnancy than I ever remember feeling the first time.  Unless it's painful and you're bleeding, I think it's just regular growing.

I'm almost 8 weeks and have had a pain since the beginning. I'm blaming my csection scar. Did you happen to have a c/s?

Yes it is totally normal and no you don't need to worry unless there is bleeding associated with it.

I agree that if there's no bleeding, and it's not painful (just a dull ache like you described), then it's totally normal. This is only my first pregnancy, but I had a LOT of cramping and discomfort from weeks 3-5 or 6. It seemed to ease up after that. If it feels like cramps, try to drink lots of water. Being dehydrated makes them much worse.

I have been experiencing this for the last few weeks. Even if you do spot along with these cramps, don't freak out! I spotted yesterday (first time since I've been pregnant) and freaked out...unless it's bright red blood and it's heavy, AND it's associated with painful cramps, you're fine. :-)

I have had so many aches,pains, cranps. Sounds normal to me!
Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever! Expecting again after IVF and recently adopted a teenage boy who we couldn't love more. God is good! Lilypie Kids Birthday tickers Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

Yes!  This is my first pregnancy (am at 5.5 weeks) and I am of course paranoid that something is wrong.  It's a very dull cramping, almost like I have to go to the bathroom, and it comes and goes through the day.  So far I've linked it to either gas (I burp WAY more!) or I have to go pee soon, or if I hold pee for more than 5 minutes, it hurts.

Thanks everyone. I did have a C-section with my first so that could possibly be it.  I wish I wasn't so nervous about everything. It took me a year and a half to get pregnant and this pregnancy is because of injectable meds and IUI's . Guess I should just be grateful I am where I am and try to enjoy this as much as I can!

Thanks again!
