Hey im 7 weeks pregnante adn the entire time, I have had the same exact symptoms you've been having. Ive had period like cramps which I posted about when I first discovered I was pregnante because I was concerned with what was going on. Eventually at about 6 weeks they went away. I will have an occasional cramp nothing bad.But a mild feeling pretty much. Gas...And constipated is something that hurts me when I go to the bathroom too. I wont strain or anything im just not using the bathroom as much as I did befor ei got pregnante. I dont have to strain but it is a little bit more complex than it was before.. Its also gotten better here lately as well. So I think what your going threw is pretty much normal with some women. How far along are you? Hope thats some comfort.

Kryss,
thanks for the reply. I am 11 weeks and this only started about a week ago and I really have only had it 2-3 times and usually at night and when I wake up in the morning it is better. Really strange. I told my mother in law last night that I am pregnant, (we haven't boke the news yet, waiting till after the 1st trimester is over)she is basically an ob/gyn and she said it could be nothing and it could be something. As long as it doesn't change, like get worse or last longer. I had an u/s done on monday and we could see the heartbeat and movement so that is reassuring, it's just one of those worrisome things.

Thanks again for the reply, hang in there!!
