I am 6 weeks along and have been cramping since liek 3 days before I even missed my period. is it gas or constipation or somethign to do with the baby? How do i know what it is and how do I relieve the pain? All i want to do is get in a hot bath , but I my Dr. says that hot baths/showers are bad b/c it raises your body temp.

It may just be fixing pains, but go to your doctor, if it gets worse ask them to do an ultrasound to check that every thing is ok.
Good luck x

I had cramps before I found out I was pregnant (at 7 weeks) It was right around the time when my period was to be here. The nurse said it was my body still used to the menstrual cycle, still having the symptoms. But that is how I found out I was pregnant. Also you can relax in a warm bath. I took hot/warm baths all through my pregnancy. You just can't stay in there for very long. If you run a warm bath, you should be fine. If you have really bad cramps and bleeding, call your doctor. BUt even if you are worried right now, Call your doctor, just for peice of mind.

i had cramps from the time i was 3 months along to i was about 6 months along. I was told to take Tylenol for the pain, and gasx for the gas. the gas and constipation are normal. I had it the whole time i was pregnant. And the doctors tell you not to take a hot bath because the higher temperature of the water the more chance of rupturing your membrains and you can have a miscarriage or go into early labor and loose your baby.

It should feel like period cramps. That is totally normal. If you start feeling any sharp pains in the same spot, then you may want to call your doctor. But unless the pains are accompanied with any bleeding, you should be fine. Your uterus is probally contracting. Making room for BABY ;0)

Baths are fine just don't make it extremely hot. Try that and see if it helps. I had abths to relieve cramps through both my pregnancies and my kids were just fine, I think you doc just means extremely hot or hot tubs.

Cramps is often a sign of a lack of calcium, you can drink / eat more milk / dairy products to get the amount up.

that happened to me also. my doc told me that it has something to do with the baby so he gave me some medicine to drink coz after the check- up he told me miscarriage was possible that time. try to get a second opinion just to make sure. i hope everything's alright..

hot bath, no. warm bath, yes.
cramping, normal.
long as it's not severe or with bleeding.
just something we have to suffer with.
