Hi Ladies...

Im new to this website, and this is my first pregnancy so sorry for any stupid questions. Im nearly 5 weeks pregnant. Ive been getting period-like cramps and keep feeling like im about to come on my AF but everytime i check there is no blood. I've been getting lower back aches, feeling sick off and on through out the day. Feeling more hungry than usual, feeling more tired than usual, my breasts feel sore now and again (its not constant) and ive been going to the toilet more than usual...I was just wondering if these are all normal signs of early pregnancy symptoms.

Thank you Smile x luvsme

They could be normal signs of pregnancy & they could be signs of miscarriage. Talk to your doctor for peace of mind. I had similar pains at 20 weeks during my last pregnancy & turns out its called "round ligament pains" although I could swear it was like the worst period pain I ever had. Good luck and congratulations!

every symptom that you are having is absolutely normal. I am now 5 wks pregnant with my fifth child and feel the exact same way
