my first prenatal visit

Hi,
I am hoping that someone might be able to relate to what I am experiencing and put my mind to ease. I found out I am pregnant on Thursday Sept. 28th and for a week before that I started to experience cramping (lower than period cramps) - however in the past few days the cramping seems to be all through my abdomen. I just got back from my first prenatal visit and the nurse said that cramping is common for women who miscarry. I am 5 weeks pregnant and am worried. This is my first pregnancy and I am very excited and happy. I also talked to my doctor and he also confirmed what the nurse said. Could there be another explanation for the cramping (not severe, but noticeable) and has anyone else out there experienced this?

worried

8 years ago I fell pregnant and I lost the pregnancy at 5 weeks gestation. I planned this pregnancy and have always wanted to be a mother. I was 30 yrs old.

I have since got married and have been married for almost a year but have been with my hasband for 5 years. We have decided to have a baby, and I recently got pregnant. My urine result was neg. but my blood result was hcg of 16 then went up to 60 then went down to 39 at 5.5 weeks. The nurse gave me the results and not my doctor. I have since bled, but not heavily although I no longer have the nice symptoms of pregnancy anymore. I just have assumed that I have miscarried alothough it would be nice to have a scan or doctor to tell me. I feel that because I have miscarried so early that there is no need to consult a doctor.

prayed for symptoms, am i crazy?

Well like a lot of pregnant women, I really wanted those symptoms of being pregnant, otherwise sometimes it is hard to believe. Well I prayed for symptoms, boy oh boy!
Ive never felt so violently ill in my whole life. Awful nausia,vomiting, bad gas and integestion soon followed. This was an IVF cycle so I already have the pleasure of hyperstimulated overies too. Anyway so tonight I prayed and asked God to take it back. I hope he does soon , too many more days like today would not be funny

Problems in the first trimester!

My boyfriend and I decided about just over 2 months ago we wanted to try for a baby. When I skipped my period I went straight to the doctors but the doctor said it was negative. I was so sure I was pregnant because my body felt different. After around 6 weeks i started spotting and then I started bleeding heavily and it wasnt stopping so I went to my doctors instead of my boyfriends and found out I am pregnant. I spent 4 hours at hospital yesterday having test after test and they couldnt find anything wrong except low potassium. Today I'm off to have an ultrasound to see what's happening but what bothers me the most is we were convinced once I started bleeding it was over so we went out for a few drinks and Ive been drinking every weekend ever since, which usually Im not a big drinker.
Right now both myself and my partner are very confused and just want answers!
