6 wks pregnant, cramps normal?
Hi all! I haven't been on this site for quite some time. I had lap RNY in August 2005. I lost 100 pounds, which was my goal and things have been going great for me since. I used this site before, during and after my surgery - and it was a lifesaver!! I guess life was going so good I thought I didn't need my friends here anymore.
Well, I'm back. I'm just over 6 weeks (from first day of last period) pregnant by my calculations. I am 36 years old and have never been pregnant before. I've been on birth control for as long as I can remember. I got married (first time) July 2008. I had an IUD removed Sept 2009 and now, here we are.
The last week or so, I've been having cramping off and on. The first night I noticed it was just on the lower right side, kept me up all night. The next day wasn't quite as bad, but in the same area. Since then, it's been mild, like light period cramps. Mostly in the same area, but some on the other side too. No bleeding at all. Is this normal, or should I worry?
My first appointment with my OB/GYN is March 26th. So, I figured I'd wait til then unless things get worse. For now, it's very tolerable.
Thanks for any input!!
P.S. I plan to put my name and picture back up, but for now, this is a "secret" -- just between us. I haven't told ANYONE except my husband. Don't intend to until I know things are okay.
