1. I don't mean to scary you but maybe you had a misscarrage. My friend when she was pregnant she had a bad cramp for like a week when doctors told her. I do believe if you had it for like a week it's best to go to the doctor and find out what's going on
2. it mite just be ur baby balling up..i kno most babies do that wen theyre uncomfortible...just relax..maybe turn 2 urside and drink sum cool water
3. It's your ligaments stretching. The baby is growing and so your ligaments are stretching and it can be quite painful. Sometimes mine will last for a few seconds, others for HOURS. It's normal but at your next appointment bring it up to your doctor. As long as you are not having any bleeding it's ligaments. Uncomfortable but TOTALLY normal.
4. yep, sounds like ligament pain. You can take 2 tylenol extra strength every 4 hours if it gets bad... that won't hurt the baby. Also try a heating pad on a low/medium setting or a warm towel on your belly, and warm drinks like tea or cocoa. That will help relax your muscles and just loosen everything up. Sleep on your left side if you can, and put a pillow between your knees.
5. You body is expanding. Something is growing inside of you. This is normal. You can start Braxton at 5 months
