Symptom??

Hi everyone. I'm about 5 weeks preg. I've been reading books and boards about symptoms and what things to expect as my body is changing. So...I realize the light cramping is normal..which I had for about a week and a half..but it seems now that I get a cramps similar to PMS cramps two after I urinate. I haven't had any bleeding, or any problems..but I'm wondering if that is a problem or if it is normal? It sounds so stupid that I hate to call the dr. It's not bothersome..I just notice that whenever I go that I feel cramps for about 2 minutes and then I'm fine. Or maybe I am just paranoid. Anyone ever have that?

I know you think its silly but I would contact your doctor.. you may have an infection.. I dont ever remember cramping after peeing.. Can I just say this... when you are pregnant NO question is stupid.. this is your life and your baby's life you have to know the facts of everything.. So dont feel that anything that concerns you or your baby is stupid :O).. Call your doc and explain and Im sure he/she will put your mind to ease :O) Good Luck

I have that problem too sometimes, even when I'm not pregnant. I've never asked if it was a problem. But what it feels like to me is ligaments stretching kind of. Good luck and if you do get an answer let me know please.

Sounds like maybe a urinary tract infection, which is *very* common in early pg. I would call the doc and see. I had one immediatly following my positive test with my daughter and cramped. It also felt like I still had to pee even though I was finished. Good luck, and congrats!
