1.) I have slight cramping in my lower stomach and I know that is from the egg attaching to the uterus but how long does this last because it is very uncomfortable.
2.) I just took a bath, is that okay? If I can remember correctly pregnant women are supposed to stay away from prolonged baths and this was a long bath.
...one more question...sorry..
3.) If I know exactly when I conceived I would count from that day to see how far along I am right.? I am 95% sure I concieved on December 2nd so that would make me about 3 or 4 weeks, right?
Thxs in advance...

Congats!
The cramping is sometimes due to your body thinking it is going through a regualr cycle but instead you are pregnant. so don;t worry it should go away, but if it doesn't consult your doctor and let him know.
Having a bath is not recommended at all. only showers from now till you want the baby born.
to find out a due date possibility go to any website that helps you count you due date
http://parenting.ivillage.com/pregnancy/calculator
is a good site
also you can watch week to week on this website to see how your baby is growing

The cramping is normal and should stop around 12 weeks or so. It's just your body adjusting to the pregnancy. Unless you start to have severe cramps or bleeding, just relax and rest.
Baths are completely safe up until your water breaks unless your doctor gives you a reason that you can't, enjoy your baths while you can still get in and out of the tub.
Your due date is 40 weeks from your last period. You can try this site for helping figure out when you are due and how far along you are:

That is a lot of questions, the cramping won't last for long. You can take baths as long as your water hasn't broken, and also remember you figure out how far along you are from your last period not your conception date so you are actually 5-6 weeks.

When you conceived is only a guess. Quote is from the source listed.
"Given the fact that sperm can live up to five days inside a woman’s body, the egg only lives 12 to 24 hours. Rarely, a second egg will pop out 24 hours after the first. So tentatively there is about a week long window for conception to occur."

Im not too sure how long the cramping will last, it varies from woman to woman. Baths are ok. The doctors say the risk of vaginal infection are higher with baths and you are not to exceed over the temperature of 100 degrees. I would agree with your count on the weeks. They SAY count from the last day of you last period, but if you know what day you actually conceived, then that is the day you were sperminated so to me that is more of the counter! Congrats!!

Regarding question 3, if you conceived on Dec. 2 then you last period started around Nov. 18 which is the date used for all purposes as the starting date which makes you 4 weeks pregnant.
Congratulations.

1. Mine lasted for about 2 weeks. I had light cramping with my first like I was going to start my period.
2. They are supposed to because it slows down the heartbeat. But it is mostly to do with hot tubs. It just depends on how hot you had your water.
3. It depends on the doctor. Some go by your last period to calculate how far you are and some go by conception. You should find a due date calculator and use that.

baths are okay as long as they are less than 100 degrees F. I think I remember reading also that even at the right temp you should not stay in too long. I'm sure your baby is fine though, just take shorter ones next time.

the day you started your last period is the start of your pregnancy so if you got pregnant on dec 2nd you would be closer to about 5 weeks, baths are fine just not too hot or if the doctor says no:)

1. Maybe 2 days.
2. Baths are fine. I took many during both pregnancies. They helped relax my back.
3. Yes, 3 weeks, but your doctor will disagree with you. I knew my exact conception date too, but the doc. was two weeks off.
