Mine were from my hip bone to hip bone. All in the pelvis. They have definatly gotten better. I havent experienced them as much as before and they only seem to affect me at night time. But mine were always in the pelvis, just like a period cramp. I am not sure when the cramps are supposed to stop though

I have been having the same cramps and lower back pains. My doctor says it's normal too. I haven't has an appt with my O.B. yet. As of today I am 6 weeks along and my appt. is for Feb. 20 so I will feel alot better after having an ultrasound and sonogram. Overall I am tired, my boobs hurt so bad that when i roll on my stomache during the night i actually wake up, i can smell everything 100 times more and i am a bit naseous 24/7. Why do they call it MORNING sickness?????

I can't wait to be a Mom!
