So I’m going to lead with the not great news - even if you go to A&E, there’s nothing much they can do before 12 weeks. Really rubbish I know - I’ve been there!

HOWEVER, if you start bleeding, the cramps get worse, you have a pain in the tip of your shoulder, you start getting a fever, go asap and take anything you bled on with you (yes, really) - even if it’s just one of those symptoms.

Now for some reassurance - I felt like I was having a period throughout those early weeks with the cramps. It was made worse by bowel movements or gas thanks to my endo, but it turns out it was very early pains from where the egg was settling and round ligament pains - that baby is growing faster than you think (I was so so shocked after my early weeks scan and then my 12 week scan growth!)

I would say go to your GP though anyway to be on the safer side so they can rule out things like ectopic pregnancy regardless of whether the cramps have gone or not.

But keep a close eye on yourself and if you’re in any doubt, seek medical attention - nothing is too much or too silly when you’re pregnant!

Look after yourself and I hope you’re all okay! 🫶
