Cramping but no bleeding

[Baby Makes 4]

That's okay right?

I've had some pretty intense cramping over the past couple of days but no bleeding at all.

I have had 3 miscarriages in the past that have all taken place between 4 and 5 weeks so this week is a bit nerve wracking for me.

My tests are getting darker and I am having symptoms so that's good but I am still concerned about the cramping.

With my second pregnancy I had miserable cramping fromweek 4 until 6 or so. I never had any bleeding.

i think you only need to worry if you have both symptoms together. cramping and bleeding

I'm sorry you're going through this worry. Cramps and bleeding seem to be the problem -- cramps alone are common in early pg. Is it possible you're dehydrated a bit? That seems to trigger cramps for a lot of women.

Very likely. I will go drink some water. Thanks for mentioning that.

Just seconding the water suggestion. I hope you have some relief by now.

I am actually feeling much better this afternoon. Maybe the cramping yesterday was a combo of everything stretching, a busy day running around with the kids and cramming myself into my jeans.

Today I have been drinking lots, wearing yoga pants and having a fairly relaxing day at home.

Glad to hear things are better, Baby Makes 4!

I'm in the same boat, and it seems like everytime I think to myself, "well, at least I'm not cramping anymore" I start again the next day.
Thanks for the water suggestions, let's hope that helps! It is really stressful- I have had a couple mc's as well and I just want to know if this one will stick or not.
