is it normal to have a cramping pain in your lower abdomen in the first weeks of pregnancy?

Question

I had them with my first baby when I was about 2 1/2 months prego but it seems to be much sooner with this baby. is that normal your 2nd time around and has anyone ever had this in the first few weeks...if so what causes this?

Answer 1

yes it is normal to have a little crpaping at any stage in pregnancy just watch for blood or clots see your doctor if it is like period cramping it should not hurt that much

Answer 2

I had those.... really bad in my first (but only) pregnancy. They were so bad that I went to the doctor in tears thinking I was going to loose my baby. Turns out it was more than normal. Besides, every pregnancy is different. So don't be worried anymore and be patient. Most cramps stop when you get to your 4th month.

Answer 3

yes, I had them first time around, and this time as well. The only thing I have noticed to make them different than period cramps, are that when u push down on where it hurts, it doesnt increase the pain .. where as when I am on my period, should I push down on the spot, it hurts bad. My pains are constantly switching spots too lol

Answer 4

I have had three children and had terrible stomach cramps with all of them, it was actually the reason I felt I was pregnant the last time.
Better to be safe than sorry...call the doctor.

Answer 5

Very normal...there is increased blood flow to your uterus and uterine region that can cause slight pressure, plus your uterus and ligaments and muscles that surround it are stretching....totally normal!!

Answer 6

VERY normal. almost like ur cycle's gonna start. i still feel them at 7+ weeks. it's ur uterus stretching & ligaments doing the same.
