cramping in early pregnancy?

I am just wondering if anyone else has felt like this and found out they were pregnant..

My period was due on Friday, the 26th of February and usually I am RIGHT ON time. I also usually have very painful periods. Well I noticed a couple days before my period was due I was getting cramping, but it didnt feel like it normally does. (i am still having slight cramping) Usually before my period starts I get cramps on my right or left side, but this cramping is like right in the middle, like exactly where my bellybutton is but lower on my pelvis. It also doesnt feel as strong as my regular period cramps, kind of like pulling more. Im just curious if anyone else had similar feelings before they found out they were pregnant.

    I was 6 weeks along when i found out i was pregnant. But i thought for the longest time that i was going to start my period because of the cramping i had but i never did. and my cramps were not as severe as when i was on my period. And then my cramping continued for about 2 1/2 almost 3 months. so if you haven't started and you are feeling this way, its possible that you are pregnant! take a test. good luck!

  • I had period pains, but no period with both my pregnancies. I am currently 25 weeks and still get them, my doctor said its down to everything stretching.

    totally how i figured out i was. oh and my period didn't come. and let me tell you it is old faithful. and i totally described the feeling to my bf as not real cramps it just tugs.

    technically it is because your insides are growing and getting ready for baby.

    but take a test and figure out for sure so you can quit stressing.

    Yes that is completely normal after conceiving. It is caused by implantation and your womb expanding :)
