Thank you guys so much for the reply i feel so much more at ease now
I agree it's normal. I experienced lots of cramping throughout my pregnancy with my daughter especially at night. I recommend sleeping with a pillow between your legs and a heat pack for comfort. I'm now 6 weeks and hoping for a stress free pregnancy. Stress to you is stress to your baby. Good luck and congrats
Very normal. Your doctor is right (as he should be) it is just your uterus getting bigger and making more room for baby.
Im also 5 weeks and having the same symptoms cramps, also gassy, & the runs (tmi). Its all normal from what I hear. :)
I have cramping on and off throughout my whole pregnancy. I am 28 weeks. There isn't much you can do. Try heat pack or a hot bath. If you take a hot bath only spend 15-20 minutes otherwise you could over heat the baby. Good luck.
