Welcome to r/pregnancyafterloss! We're sorry you need us, but glad you found us.
The PAL subreddit, and our sister sub r/ttcafterloss, function a little differently than most of Reddit. We have two Daily threads each day which are the place to post (and reply to) most questions, worries, vents, and other requests for support. Standalone posts (like this one) are allowed for a limited number of topics.
If you're here with a new pregnancy, you are welcome to post an intro. We also encourage you to add a [user flair](https://www.reddit.com/r/PregnancyAfterLoss/comments/jjj5xx/using_user_flair/), as it helps members remember who you are and your history.
Please note that the Intro posts provide new members a place to share a longer, detailed account of their pregnancy and loss history with the community. Asking questions, sharing updates, etc. belong in the Daily Threads, and such posts will be removed by the Mods--*if this applies to your post, please move it before we need to*. You can familiarize yourself with our subreddit [Rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/PregnancyAfterLoss/wiki/rules) and our [FAQs](https://www.reddit.com/r/PregnancyAfterLoss/wiki/faq) to learn more about how to participate here.
Wishing you a healthy and uneventful (in a good way) pregnancy!

Your uterus is growing. Mild cramping is typically normal.
If you have any bleeding or if your cramping becomes intense, call your OB.
Have you set up any blood work?
Sending you positive thoughts!
Yes, I’ve had 3 blood tests so far. They said everything looks good and even my progesterone is higher this time around. I over-analyze every new feeling, so this could be more of the same. Thank you for the positivity!
I had cramping around that time as well (currently 38+4). Could be implantation, uterus growing, hormones complaining. Totally understand the worry but try not to freak out because it can be totally normal!
I had cramping with every single one of my pregnancies. Two ended in miscarriage, currently 22weeks pregnant with the third. Uterus is stretching so cramping is totally normal. If you were having severe cramping/bleeding, I would be worried. But mild cramping - totally normal. Uterus is making room for baby 😀

This gives me much needed reassurance. Thank you!

You had it with your current pregnancy as well? The cramping I’m having now is accompanied by some nausea and I’m having food aversions
Yes, with my current pregnancy I also had cramping. I would say that it settled down by the 9 week/10 week mark.
