Q: Period-like Cramping At 5 Weeks

Hi all -

i am new to the board and I am glad that I found it. The posts that I have read so far are ver helpful. It always feels better to know when there are other people going through what you are and that you are not alone!
I have been officially diagnosed as 5 weeks pregnant (by hpt and blood work). My husband and I are thrilled, this is our second baby. We have a 3 year old daughter already. My question is, I am having period-like cramping. It is not cramping in my abdominal area, but in my pelvic area. Could anyone help as to whether or not this is normal or if any of you have experienced this and gone on past the 'miscarriage danger zone'? Thanks!!!

Same Here

I am to having cramps, I don't know weather I am pregnant yet, I am 3 weeks late, but I am having cramps the same as you. This is my 3rd child and I have never had cramps like this, I am feeling sick and very tired.
Sorry could not answer your question, but I would like to know too.

Thanks :?

I had cramps at the start of my pregnancy. Turned out to be a cyst on my ovary that burst. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy he is big and healthy.
