6 weeks pregnant and cramping?

Question

I am 6 weeks pregnant and have been having some cramping, but not bad cramping, and I have also been having some brown discharge and the discharge lasted for 5 days and is gone now and I have been getting the cramps for almost 2 weeks now. The cramping isn't painful and I have no bleeding at all.
Is this all normal?

Answer 1

Do not worry the cramping is just your uterus growing to make room for the baby. The brown discharge is probably just old mestrial blood that is working its way out of your system. I would not be concerned but if it really buggung you I would talk to your doc.

The same things that are happening to you happened to you when I was pregnant with my son

Answer 2

I had that at around 6 weeks but it started with red blood then pink then spotted brown discharge for two weeks, went to see my doctor cause I started cramping. The doctor had me take a blood test to see if i was miscarrying and then had me get an ultrasound done, she told me not to worry unless i bleed enough to soak a maxi pad, but told me that it may be normal for me cause in my past 2 pregnancies i always bleed and do bleed enough to soak a maxi pad and my first baby was born totally healthy, well with this pregnancy i went and got the ultrasound and the baby is totally fine, so for me when i see blood and discharge it is normal in my pregnancies, i go for my first prenatal exam next week and i'll be 12 weeks then. Everyone is different with any sign of blood you have to see the doctor my sister had all the same symptoms as me and would have been almost 12 weeks right now also, she was bleeding and cramping but she miscarried..... it was sad we could have been pregnant together and due around the same time. so go see a doctor everyone's body is not the same!!!

Answer 3

Very normal. I had cramps the first 8 weeks of my pregnancy.

Round ligament pain
Round ligament pain is generally a brief, sharp, stabbing pain or a longer-lasting, dull ache that you may feel on one or both sides of your lower abdomen or deep in your groin, usually starting in your second trimester. It happens when the ligaments that support your uterus in your pelvis stretch and thicken to accommodate and support its growing size.

You may feel a short jabbing sensation if you suddenly change position, such as when you're getting out of bed or up from a chair or when you cough, roll over in bed, or get out of the bathtub. Or you may feel a dull ache after a particularly active day, if you've been walking a lot or doing some other physical activity. Call your caregiver if this discomfort continues even after you've rested.

Answer 4

Yes. For the most part, this is normal. Your uterus has to stretch to accomidate the growing fetus within you. If, however, you experience any cramping worse that you would have with a period or any blood, notify your obsetrician immediately. There is sometimes a bloody show after intercourse or a vaginal exam, but this should be no more than a few drops.

Answer 5

It can be normal for you. Every pregnancy is different. I cramped really bad with my daughter throughout the full first trimester because of uterine growth. I never bled, but I know that some girls do and that as long as it's not the real bright red....fresh blood; you're more than likely ok.

Answer 6

i had cramping at the beginning as well, i think as long as is is tolerable and you arent bleeding you should be ok. i am not sure about the discharge, you may want to ask your OB about that. good luck hun! :)

Answer 7

Even if everyone tells you this is normal you should still see your OB just to be safe. Could also be a tubal pregnancy. Better safe than sorry.

Answer 10

You should call your doc just to make sure you're not having a miscarriage. It also just might be the uterus expanding.
