Q: Pregnant and cramping
asked by: Alex12 on March 5th, 2008

I just turned 30 and found out I am pregnant with my 3rd child. It was unplanned so I must say I have not taken all of the precautions I did with the other two (I had some wine and I smoke when I drink). In the past I had problems with miscarriages. With my second I had 3 of them. 1 I was 12 weeks, the other 2 pretty early on. They had me use progesterone after ovulation and through the first couple of weeks to ensure proper implantation. I obviously did not do this since it was unplanned. It also is a little late for that seeing that implantation has already taken place. I have been very crampy ever since it happened (on and off) no bleeding. I'm very nervous something could be wrong my pregnancy tests are still coming up positive

A lot of women experience cramping in early pregnancy, similar to period cramps. If there is no bleeding along with the cramps, everything sounds normal. Have you been to the doctor yet?

no they didn't want to see me until I'm at least 9-10 weeks so I go April 4th. They told me I could come in for lab tests but I am leaving on vacation tomorrow and wasn't able to have it done then come back in 48 hrs. to be rechecked.

I hope you have a relaxing vacation. It is hard not to worry though.
