[zazachicamala]

Hi everyone, hope u are all enjoying your pregnancy's...im 5weeks now, due 14th oct 12..my second pregnancy (mc at 6 weeks last time). Just wondering if anyone else is/has experienced low abdominal aches/pulling feelings...i have them on one side...sometimes it feels like its travelling down my inner thigh too...would feel better knowing it was normal. Btw i have always experienced my period and ovulation cramps on one side due to a cyst on one ovary but still not sue if i should still be feeling this now at 5weeks pregnant. Thanks in advance xx

i had that too with all 3 of my pregnancies. with my first 2 its was really painful but with this one since iv already streched out alot it still hurts but not like it use to. and now that im 14weeks i still get those pains what you discribe. if your allowed to try taking a warm bath and see if that helps. i know that the only pain medication that a pregnant women is allowed to take is tylenol and thats it, because the other ones like advil and actimephin thins the blood and doctors dont want that to happen because its not good.

Minor cramping and aching is normal. This is due to the uterus stretching. If the cramping becomes severe and/or you are bleeding bright red, go to the hospital.
