Mother at an older age
light menstrual cramps
mama37Guest ·
Hello pregnant ladies!
I'm 37 and pregnant with my 3rd. I'm still very early on in my pregnancy. Namely 5 weeks. I feel light menstrual-like pains in my belly and/or back. It's not all day, but from time to time. I don't remember this from my previous 2 pregnancies. Who else has this?
Plus, I'm worried about the baby's health because I'm 37.
I hope the ladies can reassure me here and share their experiences with me.
Greetings,
Mama37

Hi mama37, I can relate, I've been through that too. There's not much you can do but wait
but it can still be a healthy pregnancy -

Thank you, Raisa, for your response! Were you also over 35 when you were pregnant? -

No, I'm 29 and now 12+3 weeks pregnant. But I do recognize those menstrual cramps in the early weeks too. Exciting, but they always say no bleeding gives hope. And if not, just call your midwife to discuss your uncertainties.
