I'm 5 1/2 weeks pregnant and my stomach is doing very strange thing is this normal?

Question

It's like kind of a churning feeling and every so often it rumbles (like hunger rumbling but i'm not hungry) I've also had cramps.

Is all this normal?

Answer 1

You should read "Belly Laughs" by Jenny Macarthy. It's a quick little read and it will make you laugh. She went through most of the uncomfortable things happen when she was pregnant. Reading it will not only make you laugh, but it will put your mind at ease if/when these things happen to you.

Oh, and your stomach rumbles are totally normal. Just wait girl, it gets even more interesting. I loved being pregnant and experiencing all of the strange things that happen with each week. You should sign up for this weekly email- it really helped me know what to expect with each week of my pregnancy. Not only that, but they also email me weekly since my baby was born with baby tips. It's been VERY helpful.

Answer 2

Sounds normal to me. I had the same things happen to me. I think as long as the cramps aren't severe you are alright. If you are too nervous about it, though, talk to your doc. Better to be safe!

Answer 3

yup the cramps are your uterus growing to make room for that baby. your body will do all sorts of weird things in the upcoming months.

Answer 4

Sounds to me like stomach distress. Don't be surprised if you are running to the bathroom. But it could be something else.

Answer 5

well don't know nothing bout being pg but my ma was pg allot,and weird things went on wit her stomach all the time for her last two pregnancies.so yea i guess its normal

Answer 6

yup. Your digestion slows down during pregnancy, and you are more prone to be gassy and bloated. Its one of the mysteries of pregnancy they never tell you about!!!!
