How common is it to have cramps around the time of your period when your pregnant?

Question

I have taken 6 home pregnancy test and my period is about 5 days late but I am cramping and bloated like I am going to start but the last two test I took this morning was still positive.

Answer 1

Yes. The cramping happens when implantation occurs, which is about the time when you normally expect your period.

With all my pregnancies, I've gotten what I thought were menstrual cramps, but they turned out to be related to the embryo implanting in the uterus.

I also get VERY bloated in pregnancy - for about the first 10 weeks. It's also very common.

Answer 2

My bestfriend was like that she kept yelling I am about to start I know I am I can feel it. At first I'd joke and say no you aint, because I was already pregnant and knew that period cramps are just like the early symtoms of pregnancy. She took 4 or 5 tests all positive untill she finally excepted that she was pregnant. If your test is positive the next step would be to see your ob to find out for sure and from there on they will get you prenatal care. GOOD LUCK

Answer 3

It is very common in the beginning. I felt like my period was going to come too, but a positive is a positive!

Answer 4

I would say very common too. It lasted for about 8 weeks for me and even now at 12 weeks I get the odd twinge. Relax, eat, drink lots and sleep well. Congrats :o)
