ugh- now I have cramps

JAM2000

again, please tell me this is normal in early pregnancy. You guys know how anxious I am after the last time.

This spotting and now cramping comes on later in the day. Guess its just from being active. I'm not running marathons or anything- just keeping up with an active 3 yr old.

I have a little p/t job at a law firm when I answer phones and file. The files are large and heavy. I'm going to have to take it easy tomorrow and maybe sit on a chair while I do it.  My friend who got me the job there knows I am pg and I actually had to tell one of the other sect. there last week because they wanted me to climb a ladder to help take down the Xmas tree! She was totally understanding once I filled her in. Obviously I didn't want to tell someone so soon that I was pregnant- but I wasn't going to get up on a ladder.

Since its an office filled with women I hope they understand that I'll be taking it slow and easy tomorrow. For a $15 and hour/ 15 hour a week job (I work during preschool hours- its really just grocery money) its not worth it to risk anything.

thanks that makes me feel better. I'm super early- about 7 weeks.

I had cramping around week 5 - I thought I was getting my period before I tested. Hang in there!! *hugs*

I know it won't be easy- but can you call out this week? and just rest as much as you can? lots of water, feet up- llet the house go etc...The more you stress the worse it will be-hang in there and tons of hugs, prayers and vibes!

oh yea, I'm totally thinking of calling out. Believe me, its just a grocery money/ keep-my-feet-wet type of a job that I don't care about.

Seriously, I had cramps almost my entire pregnancy.  I think the 3rd trimester I felt my best.  The entire first trimester I was on egg shells b/c I was cramping the entire time, and even second trimester.  Hope that makes you feel better.  Good luck!

I was certain I was getting my period around 5-6 weeks. Pretty sure I remember cramping around where you are at too. Good luck!

I had horrible cramps last night and I was kept thinking "I don't remember if this is normal"  I do recall having lots of cramping w/ all my pg's in 1st tri.  I believe it's quite normal.  I had spotting w/ Grace at 6w too.

I know, I totally don't remember either!

BTW- I didn't know you are pg. Congrats. Our EDD are very close. I'm 8/31
