Cramping (though a Pain) May Be Normal

She may be getting her period and that would actually be normal...It's called spotting. If just a little bit don't worry. Everything should be fine...I had that prob with my 1st child in the first month. But if your concerned she should see a doctor.


Best wishes,

Spotting is normal and so are cramps. Both my sisters had them. Suggest she takes another test to make her feel better. Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations! You must be extatic! Cramping is normal but if you ever have any doubts or something doesnt feel right you can always call your doctor/obgyn and ask lots of questions!

I am 9w5d pregnant and since I found out...(the first day of my missed period).. Until about week 6 I constantly "felt" like I was going to get my period. Cramping, bloating, etc... Family and the doctor all say that this is competely normal.No worries! If you start to see bright red blood and it is associated with back pain... Then you should seek medical attention asap. Good luck and congratulations!!! Laughing
