Cramping and, first time pregnant
Hi all,
First time signing up here. We found out that we are pregnant this weekend. I haven't gone to see the dr. yet. My HCG level is in the 5500 range and seems to put us in the 5-7 week . We are having mixed emotions. I've had cramps for the past 2 weeks, felt like I was due for my period, I look down expecting to see blood, but so far none. Its cramps that are waking me up in the middle of the night and not mild. When the cramp comes usually lasts for like 5 minutes, I feel like, my legs feel so weak that they will give out. Are these normal pains ? I've read that they are from the stretching, but this bad? No bleeding, which is good. Do they subside? Anything I should be doing more off? Along with being scared, we feel happy and blessed, but also still in disbelief. Thanks in advance for the comments.

I had mild cramps like my period was going to start for the first 6 weeks or so, but they were very mild. On a scale of 1 - 10, maybe a 3 at the very worst. I think you should schedule a doc appointment soon. Tell them about the intense cramps if they try to make you wait till 10 weeks for the first appointment.
