I am 5 weeks pregnant and am having periodic twinges in my lower left side. It isn't so much a pain at all, but I can feel something. I am nervous at every little feeling because I miscarried at 5 weeks in July. Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar with a healthy pregnancy? Thanks ladies!

I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant and am experiencing the same thing. I know that the twinges we are feeling is just the embryo burrowing deeper into the lining of the uterus. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have had three pregnancies prior to this one and they all came with a little cramping at some point. My best friend cramped her first trimaster. Try not to worry, it will only hurt you. I should take my own advice though. I worry too. It took two years to conceive this time and I have a higher chance of miscarriage now than I did before. I try to think of these twinges as a positive. I am truly sorry for your loss. Every pregnancy is different and Im sure this one will turn out better for you!

I'm really confused i don't think I'm late but my boobs have bin killing me for about 2 weeks now and I've bin getting cramps in my tummy i came on my period about 2 and a half weeks ago but only bleed for two days before i come on my boobs normally hurt the week before but not like this could i be pregnant or could this be something more serious

I'd say that two days would constitute a normal period but when in doubt, take a test. That's the best way to know. It would depend on how much you bled. If your symptoms don't subside and you are still feeling this way in a week or so then see your doctor.

Hello ladies,
Had an ultrasound this week and found out that I have a corpus luteum cyst on my left ovary so that is the twinge i was feeling. Everything seems to be on track and i heard the heartbeat! June 5th is my DD. Is anyone experiencing slight pressure/cramping at 7 weeks. I think it is probably just my uterus growing but I freak out every time i feel the slightest thing!

When I was pregnant with my first daughter I cramped ALL the time! It was just my uterus growing. I found it comforting just to rub my tummy, or have a nice warm bath.
