Hi! My first 6 weeks were exactly like you describe (I'm only 7 weeks now and it's my first time pregnant). In fact for a while I thought it was pre-period cramps. I've been told these pains can simply be the uterus expanding etc, and as it's the first time our body is changing like this, it can cause 'growing pains'. I'm still getting the odd twinge and tender feeling but it's really calmed down in week 7. Try not to worry : ) I'm just trying to combat the morning sickness now! x
