Mild cramping and lower backache in early pregnancy?

Is it normal to have mild cramping off and on and lower backache in early pregnancy?

I just found out that I am 4 weeks pregnant. I was shocked because for the last 3 weeks I have had mild cramping like AF was coming and major lower backpain. But it is not all day only off and on especially at night. Has anyone else expierence this? It aslo feels like I am leaking, but there is nothing has anyone experienced that?

    Well if you are 4 weeks pregnant, that means that you conceived 2 weeks ago when you ovulated, since your pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last period. Implantation would have just occured last week, so anything you’ve felt for 3 weeks is not from your pregnancy. However, mild cramping is normal in early preganncy.

    Totally normal! It is just your body stretching and getting ready to accomodate a little life =). And the feeling like your leaking is probably just discharge…get ready for a lot of that!
    Good luck!

    perfectly normal. back pain is actually a sign of pregnancy, and the cramping means your uterus is expanding for the baby.

    It’s totally normal. I felt it for about ten weeks with this pregnancy.

    I am 7 1/2 weeks and having the same lower back pains. I didn’t think they came this early but I guess with all the hormones, etc. they can come anytime. I have the same symptoms, cramping, back pain, leaking and now the nausea is in full effect – eat while you can!!! I have started dry heaving and am trying to hide it from people at work. Let me tell you – Preggie Pops work a little and so does lemonade for some reason. Good luck I am right there with ya!

    yup i had that, like period pains, only a little different. it was the first thing that made me think i was preg. since i usually didn’t get cramps until after i started my period. night time was rough, but cramps only lasted about 3 weeks after i got a positive, though everyones different. good luck!
