Cramping with pregnancy?

Question

I just found out yesterday morning that I am pregnant, however, I have had some cramping. By my guess, I am between 6-8 week pregnant (I have irregular periods, so it's hard to gauge). I have heard that cramping can be a sign of miscarriage, am I right to be worried?

Answer 1

It's normal to have cramps during pregnancies but wise to mention any and all cramping to your doctor or midwife. If the pain becomes very strong, you may be dealing with an ectopic pregnancy and you would need to see your doctor immediately.

It is always wise to err on the side of caution and get yourself checked out.

Hang in there and try to keep your thoughts focused on that beautiful baby that is coming soon!

i had lots of cramping early in my pregnancy but here is some info for u hope this helps :) good luck with everything :)

Many women get concerned by cramping that they experience in early pregnancy. Some might worry that this is a sign that their pregnancy is not viable and that a miscarriage is on its' way. This isn't necessarily always the case however.

Cramping in early pregnancy is not only common but very normal. Some women might feel cramping as soon as seven days after they ovulate. If they are in fact pregnant, then this cramping is called implantation cramping and is the cramping that occurs when the egg attaches itself, or implants, to the uterus. It is not cramping that all women feel, and can be easily unnoticed.

Some women start cramping shortly after they get a positive pregnancy test as their uterus starts preparing to carry a baby for nine months. The uterus is a big organ and as it grows in early pregnancy cramping is expected. If the cramping is constant or too intense for you to handle however it may not be "normal" and you should call your doctor if you feel you need to for reassurance.

Another type of cramping you might feel in early pregnancy is called round ligament pain. This is cramping that occurs as the muscles under your uterus expand and grow in order to support the weight of your uterus and baby as it grows. This is probably the most complained about cramping in early pregnancy, and one most pregnant women will experience.

Cramping in early pregnancy is often times nothing for a woman to get worried about. Most of the time, the opposite is true. A woman can be comforted by knowing that if she has some cramping, then her body is probably preparing as it should to sustain the pregnancy. Cramping can also continue into the second and third trimester as the uterus continues to grow and as the body prepares for labor. If you ever feel that the cramping is not normal, be sure to call your doctor for advice.

its only a sign of a miscarriage if its SEVERE pain and there is bleeding with clots. mild cramping and even milk bleeding is common in early pregnancy as your body is growing a new life! your uterus is expanding to accomadate the baby. if you are experiencing severe cramping or heavy bleeding, see a healthcare professional but unfortunately, theres no way to stop a micarriage from happening.

Answer 4

Yes girl! You are right to be worried. Later in a pregnancy, cramping means the baby is coming or preparation for it. You are way too early to be cramping! Please get under a doctor's care and take care of yourself!

Answer 5

cramping in early pregnancy is normal. Its the stretching of the uterus and the pressure on the surrounding organs.

It could just be your ovary getting bigger for the baby, if it gets really bad then you need to go to the doctor to make sure its nothing. I hope all is well
