I am just shy of six weeks pregnant. I am sitting here at work and all of a sudden I got this cramp in my upper thigh. I also seem to have slight cramping in my lower abdomen on my right side. I know the cramping is from stretching but is it okay that it's mainly on one side. I had an ultrasound a week ago and everything looks fine. Also my boobs were hurting and then the pain went a way is that okay?

You are fine, there are lots of little growing pains during pregnancy. If you are sitting all day, try getting up (slowly) and stretching throughout the day. Good luck.

I havent had a baby myself, however most of my friends have had them and I was there for most of it. They always complained of cramping, and what seems to work is to do a little light walking, get up from your desk more often than usual and also drink some extra water. I know that when women are pregnant the weight of the baby pushes on the kindneys and makes them have to go more often, but most women dont drink more water to compensate for what they are loosing and the cramping is worse. As far as the boobs go, yes they get hard and they hurt. They are starting to get ready for you to be able to feed your baby. From what I understand they will get sore first, then hard, then they will be hard and hot until you release the milk. Now, acording to what I have seen my friends go through, you sound completely normal... however if you have any question, no matter how silly call your doctor. You are paying them for a service so they should be at your disposal if you are ever unsure of anything so keep that in mind and you can never go wrong. Good luck hun, and congrats on the new baby.

I am just shy of 8 weeks pregnant =) and sometimes my lower abdomen has very mild cramping on one side. It freaked me out at first but my doctor said it was normal. I sometimes get little shooting cramps in my upper thigh near the crotch area. Doctor said that is normal too! I think you are fine unless the pain gets really bad or you start spotting! Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck!

Congrats on your pregnancy! I am almost 9 1/2 weeks and it's my first pregnancy, so i am very aware of every little tweaks and cramps that's going on in my body. That freaks me out because I don't know if it's normal, which I think it is. So don't worry, you're just very aware of all the changes like I am. I'm sure we'll have a healthy pregnancy :=) Keep positive! I tell myself that everyday! Good Luck!

I am exp the same so I am glad we are not the only people to be a little paranoid. My sono didn't show b/c full bladder and I didn't get that reassurance but I do know that ligsments stretching will cause pain Good Luck!

Don't worry I went through the same things. It really sucks but it doesn't last for the whole pregnancy. Congrats and good luck.
