Cramping

I'm 5 weeks pregnant. 

I've noticed this past couple of weeks, that i've been having bad cramps..but its not just were normal cramps are, they go all the way to my butthole.

I'm sorry if this is TMI, I just have yet to go to a dr.'s appointment, and have no clue, my first pregnancy

Haha.. You said butthole. Seriously though, this sounds like constipation to me. If its not that painful I wouldn't worry about it. If it is then I would mention it to you doctor.

It does sound like you are constipated. I would put a call into the doctor.

mild cramping is normal. i have been feeling cramping for well over a week now. i am relating it to bloat and gas. i also have noticed i have used the bathroom a lot today so it can be related to that. but you may be constipated. make sure you eat enough fiber through out the day, increase fluid intake, ambulate, and move your bowels when you feel the urge..if you hold it, your body will reabsorb the water in the stool making it difficult to pass.

Sounds like constipation to me, I've felt the same way for the past month. I finally got "what to expect when expecting" and that recommends hot water with lemon and my goodness does that help (at least for me). It helps my nausea, bloating, and gas, too.
