The cramping is not bad, but its been constant for the last week and a half. I'm only about 4 weeks pregnant. I found out by accident because I was scheduled to have a laprosctomy because I have a bicornuate uteris. The labs came back saying I was pregnant, eveyone was in shock, considering i was having surgery to check for possible fertility problems.
Anyway, I'm having this cramping and its not bad, but its uncomfortable and making it hard for me to sleep. Is this normal?Can I take something? What can't I take, tyleno, ibprophen, naprosen?
My dr. said not to worry too much unless I have bleeding, but I'm still worried and not sure if its normal. I forgot to ask him earlier if it was ok to take something.

The cramping is normal. It does not mean that you are going to have a miscarriage. Just watch for signs of bleeding and if the pain get severe. Just have someone to rub your lower abdomen because it really soothes it. I didn't have the cramping with all of my children, only with like four of them. I have seven children. The cramping is very normal.

Tylenol Early Pregnancy

It IS NORMAL!!! Your uterus is going thru a lot right now, and it can be uncomfortable. Take only tylenol. Ibuprofen and naproxen can cause problems--not very likely, but still... I've just found out I'm preggo with my second, and I had mild period-like cramping with my son for at least the first 8 weeks, and this one is the same so far. It may also make your bowels act kinda funny-either diarrheal or constipated, and always gassy-- so keep up your fiber intake to prevent bowel cramping also. The uterine cramping and the bowel cramping seem to feed on each other, and can be undistinguishable from each other... Taking a Maalox Plus occasionally may help also.

We covered obstetrics and gynaecology practise in our lessons this semester. Just from your symptoms they woule be hard to tell. A qualified doctor should do more tests like blood pressure, palpation of the abdomen, Ultrasound, for yours to be brushing you (I get the impression he is brushing you off) without additional tests, I think is undermining the condition.
Yes, some cramps is possible in first weeks, but if it gets to be so constant, I have reason to suspect some diseases. But it is not a given, like I said, without further investigations. Consult your physician again, if he or she said to come back when it bleeds (which by then would already would have been too late), CHANGE your physician!
You can't take those drugs because they will cause harm to your infant. They cross the placental barrier and gets mixed in the foetal circulation, causing unfavourable effects.
I wish you all the best with your pregnancy and congratulations!
p/s: women with bicornuate uterus can get pregnant, but normally they will need caeserian section, becuase the foetus will have a problem in his/her breeching (flipping of position to head-down)

I have cramps....sometimes they go away and then come back. I asked my doctor about it and she said everything was fine, it's just your body stretching to make room for the baby. And not being comfortable at night is very common. I found my place on the bathroom floor (I kid you not) because it was cooler and for some odd reason just more comfy then my brand new bed..haha. I really wouldn't worry about the cramping unless its severe and constant and yes if there's bleeding go to the ER asap. You can take tylenol, just read the directions and don't take more than directed. Congrats to you!!<3

I'm having the same problem and I'm also about 4-5 weeks. There are 2 things, gas and stretching of your uterus. It drives me nuts sometimes and I even get moody! If it is not that bothersome, then don't take anything. Medications are not good for your baby. I hear that eventually, they will go away. Hope we feel better soon! Congrats by the way!
Happy Holidays!

Tylenol is the only thing you can take when pregnant. I think some cramping is normal as your body adjusts, but I would watch for bleeding or more severe cramps... they may warrant a trip to the urgent care.

i do not want to scare you or stress you out, since that is not healthy for the baby, but i was 6 weeks pregnant and started out having light cramping, it got worse, then i had spotting, that got worse and then i miscarried... 2 months ago. theres not much you can do if that is going to happen but i will keep you in my thoughts. try to stay calm, dont get too stressed and take it easy. god bless.

Yes it can be normal but if your still worried i would ask to be checked out. Stop yourself from worrying.
You are only meant to take paracetemol products. Nothing with ibuprofen in it.
