First tri cramping?

[simpsongal]

I'm a minute pregnant.  I didn't have any symptoms with #1 when I got a BFP.  This time, I keep having lots of cramping (annoying but bearable), back pain, sore boobs, and I'm tired.  I recall reading a lot of this 'lady' stuff is amplified the second time around.  E.g., my cycles and AF were more intense w/symptoms.

Does this sound normal?  The cramping makes me nervous.  It's not super intense but pretty consistent and in various places in my midsection (not just one spot).

Sounds normal to me. I was pretty crampy off and on in first tri this time. Chasing a toddler didn't help, as I'm sure you're realizing.

Eta - And I'm so, so excited to see you here!!

Yes, I had cramping. My OB did an ultrasound to confirm all was well around 6 weeks

[Jalapeñomel]

Totally normal.

Congrats!

I had a lot of cramping in early first tri. It's usually normal. Lots of stuff happening in there!

I first read this as "first tri camping" and thought, sure if you really want to sleep in a tent at that point!

But, kidding aside, yes it's normal.

With both pregnancies, I felt like I was about to get my period at any second. Lots of cramps.

Congrats! I definitely felt very crampy first tri. And now again in 3rd tri.

Hahaha I thought it said "camping," too and came in here to tell you to skip it. I'm only about 2 minutes pregnant, but I've had some cramping, too.

Ditto everyone else. I had pretty severe cramping until around 7 or 8 weeks I think. I ended up having betas drawn and everything was fine.

Congrats!

I was really crampy, too.

Looks like we'll get to go through this process together! So excited!

the amount of times i googled "cramps first tri okay" is ASTONISHING.

Normal, I experienced it too. I think it's your uterus saying "Oh, yeah. This."

I experienced a lot of pregnancy symptoms the first time but they've been intensified the second time. Yay.

I got my BFP around 12 dpo, and had cramping on and off for the first week or two. It tended to feel better if I rested on the couch. (Easier, I'm sure, when it's kiddo #1 than #2.)

I totally read that too  

I had a lot of cramps. Today I sneezed and got a cramp so apparently it is not over. Everything is going well for us so far

Totally normal! Feels like it's worse this time around too...or maybe I have blissfully forgotten what first tri pregnancy was like so happy for you! Congrats!
