I had bad abdominal cramping at 9 weeks to the point that the GP sent me for an ultrasound... but everything was fine and it went away... I felt really silly, but everyone said it was important to get anything scary like that checked out.

I had a few strong abdominal pains in 2nd trimester when I was getting out of bed or off the lounge and it would be sharpe and go away after a few seconds and just feel like a pulled muscle for a few minutes after that.... everyone told me that was normal too, and it was the uterus stretching... But I would keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get worse!!
