Pregnancy Cramps
Posted: 01-10-08 16:35pm

I am 3 or 4 weeks pregnant the doctor said. I am getting some cramps in my lower left hand side of my belly and also sometimes in the middle of my abdomin. I am not sure if it could be gas related? I have alot of gas and bowel movements is this normal?

I have been having the same thing. I am five weeks and have been having cramps for 2 weeks. Its completely normal. A lot of ladies on here helped me understand that its just your body adjusting, you ligaments are stretching. As long as there is no bleeding you should be fine...

COngratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine were from my hip bone to hip bone. All in the pelvis. They have definatly gotten better. I havent experienced them as much as before and they only seem to affect me at night time. But mine were always in the pelvis, just like a period cramp. I am not sure when the cramps are supposed to stop though

I have been having the same cramps and lower back pains. My doctor says it's normal too. I haven't has an appt with my O.B. yet. As of today I am 6 weeks along and my appt. is for Feb. 20 so I will feel alot better after having an ultrasound and sonogram. Overall I am tired, my boobs hurt so bad that when i roll on my stomache during the night i actually wake up, i can smell everything 100 times more and i am a bit naseous 24/7. Why do they call it MORNING sickness?????

I can't wait to be a Mom!
