Cramping on and off. 7wks pregnant after m/c and d&c. Anyone else have this?

Short story is I am pregnant again (with #2 - i have a daughter already) after having a missed miscarriage and d&c in October. Got pregnant again next cycle (after period). I have been having mild cramps on and off for the last few weeks. They were feeling like mild period cramps and then last night more like the 'stretching' kind of cramps I recall from my first pregnancy. I know I shouldn't be panicking, but I can't help it!

Can you tell me if you have had any cramping in 1st trimester (some days only a little, other days on and off) and everything has been fine? I can't help but worry after last time (although I had no cramping at all and only very mild symptoms). I have been having waves of nausea on and off throughout the whole day, so at least those symptoms are stronger this time.

Update:

I have a scan on Monday, which is why I'm a bit nervous I suppose!

    So since you had a miscarriage right before you got pregnant again, did the doc want an ultrasound to make sure everything was ok? I am sure they would want to know if there was a viable fetus in there and if they can get a heartbeat on that baby. I had a miscarriage in sept, and then got pregnant again in oct and then had another miscarriage in dec. The second pregnancy though they were very watchful of me and did several ultrasounds, and what not to follow me. I would suggest since you are having cramps I would follow up with the doc. After what happened no one would blame you for worrying. If they can get a good heartbeat, baby is growing normally and there is no bleeding then I think everything will be fine!

    I hope the best for you are your baby....

    Good luck!
