I was just wondering if any one in the early weeks suffered from cramps, iam nearly 6 weeks and over the last week i have had some minor cramping but yesterday they seemed to be more in one spot, i have read about ligiment streching and this could cause this i have had no blood or strong pain is this normal ?  I had m/c in jan 08 and the pains do not feel anything like that.

Cramping is very normal. It's your uterus stretching and growing.

Hey ladies!

Hey! I am currently in my first trimester 8w6d today! This is my first pregnancy and it has been stressful but well worth it. I saw my baby's heartbeat at 7w5d and it was 152bpm... That made my day! I've also been diagnosed with a subchronionic (sp) bleed and they found a cyst on  my ovary all things the doc explained.. Has anyone had this happen and go on to have a normal pregnancy after seeing the heartbeat

I'm not sure about the subchronionic bleed, but i have several cyst on my ovaries and have had 3 healthy pregnancies, the only thing they causes was stabbing pains every now and then in my ovary area! Good luck and seeing the heartbeat is usually a good sign!

Hi all!  I am in my first trimester. This is my second pregnancy, my first ended in a miscarriage in September of 2009.  As you can imagine this has been stressful, but I am 10 weeks today, and I have seen the baby, its heartbeat and heard the heartbeat, so my husband and I are very excited.  As of now the baby's due date is my husband's birthday!!
