Hi ladies,
I’m 3 days over due and had a positive home test. But I’m cramping so bad I’ve never had that before in early pregnancies. I used to cramp this bad just before period start day before I had my kids.
And I’m having it again, feels like I’ll start my period but it’s not happening and I keep on cramping really strong. Has anybody had that? And what happened?

I just got my BFP yesterday and have been cramping like crazy for over a week - I thought I was going to get my period, because it felt just like PMS. Based on everything I’ve read, it’s normal!

Yes i had the same thing. I almost had to pull over when driving at one point because the cramps were so bad they were making me nauseous from pain. I expected to see blood every time I went to the bathroom but the cramping settled down after like three days and never had any spotting or bleeding

I have light to moderate cramping happening. I called my doc and she sent me in for a blood test. I'll go again in two days.

This has made me feel so much more at ease!!! I am 4w5d and have had horrible cramps for over a week! My other half ended up taking me to the ER and they couldn’t do much aside from bloods as I was too early for an US. Head back for bloods today so fingers crossed my blood reads over 1500 and they can check what’s going on in there.

Thank you for your replies ladies. So what I thought was pregnancy related cramps were actually really severe gastric pains. I was taken into the hospital last night in an ambulance because I was in agony, my back was killing and had stomachs cramps as well. I wasn’t able to sit up, stand or lay down. Apparently I had trapped gas �� they did blood tests and then gave me paracetamol in a drip to get rid of the pain and then I was able to go home this morning. Hope you’re all doing well x

@Mana27,
I had terrible cramping when I got my positive. Like, I was sure I was seconds away from my period. It lasted until I was about 7 weeks too. But I’m now almost 26 weeks with a healthy baby! So it wasn’t a bad sign for me. I even had some spotting around 6 and a half weeks and everything was fine. Best of luck to you xx

That’s literally why I was so shocked when I found out I was pregnant. I put off taking a test for a week because I was cramping like I usually do before a period. I was even using a heating pad!!!
Nope. Baby ❤️

I literally had horrible cramps in early pregnancy. They were very painful and I kept thinking I was going to miscarry. They subsided around 8 weeks? As long as you aren’t bleeding everything is likely fine.
