I just found out I am pregnant yesterday ( I was due yesterday ) and if I hadn't taken the test I would bet money that I was about to start my af. I am cramping like I am about to start and it is really frightening because we have been trying for 11 months. I'm terrified I am going to lose it. I had what I think is a bit of breakthrough bleeding this morning, but nothing else. I hope someone will read this. x

I am 5 weeks pregnant and for the past week i have felt the exact feelings i would get if i was about to come on my period, including quite painful cramps and headaches. So relieved to hear this is normal and there are so may others feeling the same way, Makes me feel 100% better!

I had cramps so bad my whole pregnancy. I wish they(Dr.'s, books, other women, etc.) would talk about it like they do morning sickness and other symptoms. I had no idea until I was pregnant that you can get cramps and I was worried that something was wrong most of my pregnancy. Just hang in there, cramps are very normal!!

I just found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant. This is my 3rd pregnancy, but my 1st one I had a miscarriage. My 2nd one was great, I have a 21/2 year old boy. This time, though, I am very nervous because I am cramping a lot. It's been very faint, but lately it's been in my left side the most. Kinda stabbing pain? I haven't seen my doc yet, and I can't see my him for 2 more weeks. Do anyone think this might be serious? Please help!

Sorry, 2 1/2 year old little boy.

Hi all. 1st day of last period 4th july. Fiance and I think conceived on 16th july. Period due 1st Aug (not uncommon to come day or two late). On 22nd July, had spotting for first 2 visits to bathroom that morning, but went away, but 'period-feeling' cramps since that morning have stayed! Never had cramps BEFORE getting period, only when get period. Does anyone think I could be pregnant. I am 27, this would be our first pg if am pg. All advice really is appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I'm the one who first posted the question. Just wanted to let you all know I had my baby on December 7th, a little boy his name is Conner Raye. He is the cutest thing I don't know what I would do without him now.

there is a thing called "phantom periods" where you have all the symps of your period but you just don't flow...I use to have irregular periods but then the just straightened out on there own and ive been having them every month this month i didn't have one i have been having cramps on/off they are not really painful just feel like im going to start my period but then i haven't yet its been 2 weeks could this be pregnancy or a "phantom period"
