Cramping-How Bad?

[ezymay]

Hello,
I was reading that cramping is a symptom of early pregnancy but I've also heard its a sympton of m/c? How bad does it need to be before you start to worry?

Thanks

Hi eej,

Ahh yes the cramps, I had them early on in my pregnancy and they were quite painful, my doctor told me it's completely normal unless you also have bleeding with the cramps, then it's time to go to the doctor/hospital... It's just everything stretching and preparing for bubs to grow.

Are you pg or do you think you are? Any bleeding?

I had cramps and lower tummy ache from 2 days after OV. I asked my GP the same question and he said that yes it's all your organs moving and things stretching and only to worry if you get spotting with it. I found if i moved the cramps stopped a little also. I'm 6 weeks now and they have pretty much disappeared apart from the odd one here and there.

Hi eej
As the others have said cramping is quite common and only a real concern if you have any bleeding with it. But if you fell unsure it is always wise to get things checked just to settle your own mind
