    Yep, a lot of the early symptoms are exactly the same as those associated with pms. Cramping and back pain are both common ones.

    Yes it’s true it feels the same which makes it very scary, with every ache and pain I would go to the toilet and check. It really is a worrying time the first 12 weeks. I hope all goes well with your pregnancy.

    Yes, I experienced really bad period pains for about 3 weeks! I just expected my period to come and it never did!!!
    Went to the doctor about it and found out I was almost 6 weeks pregnant!

    yes so is very sore breasts, all day and half the night nausea, head aches I’m 10 weeks have been suffering all these for 5 weeks now hopefully only another 2-3 weeks max now.. sorry it can be a long road with these uncomfortable symptoms.. it’s worth it in the end though.. good luck..

    It sure can be.. BUT! just because other people have gone through it doesn’t mean it’s normal for you. Every ones experiences are so incredibly different.
    If you feel worried at all, at any point, you must either go to your doctor or day assessment unit.
    The worst thing in pregnancy is constant worry. Don’t feel your being silly. you can never be to careful when it’s your baby.
    You must do whats right for you, and not based on other peoples, individual experiences! Hope your well x

    YEP I HAVE HAD LOWER BACK PAIN AND BAD CRAMPS SINCE 4 OR 5 WEEKS AND I AM 19 WEEKS AND STILL HAVE THE PAIN EVERY DAY I WAS TOLD 5 WEEKS AGO THAT I HAVE BRAXTON HICKS CONTRACTIONS ALL THE TIME SO THAT IS THE CRAMPS THAT I FELT BUT THE BACK PAIN I WAS TOLD IS JUST NORMAL PREGNANCY PAIN. SOME WOMEN HAVE NO PAIN SOME HAVE LOTS EVERY PREGNANCY IS DIFFERENT

    Totally I have been pregnant twice and the reason I have known I was is because of the lower dull like backache I experienced early on and the period like cramps I was getting, as I only ever got cramps when AF actually arrived never before and never the backache.

    They say it is good to sleep maybe with a pillow or cushionm between your legs as this can help. I tried it and it took a bit of the ache away!

    Congratulations BTW!
