Cramping is pretty normal, but still make
sure you tell your doctor, for
reassurance. Prenatal pills? I take them
in the mprning after eating otherwise I
will get sick also, if nothing is in my
stomach. Hope this helps.
I am 24 and 7 months pregnant......

I was cramping alot from 5-8 weeks and
it's scary just let your doctor know. If
it isn't really bad cramps it's ok.
Everything in there is changing and
stretching and the baby is still
implanting itself. If the cramps come
with bleeding go to er right away. I felt
cramping mostly on my left side too, right
in my lower abdomen.
I have been taking my vitamins at night
too b/c they make me feel sick (except for
last night I fell asleep and had to take
it when I woke up this morning, it's the
first time I forgot)

I had period like cramping early in my
pregnancy too and was told it's normal.
But like you I was really worried about
it. As long as it's not severe and theres
no bleeding its normal. Good luck with
your pregnancy.

just to be sure ask your doctor.My name is
rosario, and I had bad cramps and some
spotting, but my ob/gyn said it was normal
,then less than a week later I had a
miscarriage, so be very careful. Try to
rest alot and take it easy. I hope
everything goes well with ur pregnancy!!!

My midwife said cramping and sharp,
stabbing pains on the left & right
side of the uterus are perfectly normal.
I guess the real concern would be uterine
pain and bleeding and/or spotting.
I'm only 9 weeks along, but everything
i've read online indicates that the uterus
is normally about the size of your fist
but by 7 or 8 weeks it's the size of a
grapefruit. It doesn't get that big
without some kind of growing pain! The
ligaments that support the uterus aren't
exactly used to that type of stretching -
I think that's where the majority of the
cramping comes from.

see why you would be cramping, thanks for
that hun. I have also been having mild
cramping and began to worry however, I
have been reassured its normal :)

I am also having mild cramping, mine is in
the center, my dr is a little concerned
and told me to get to the hospital if it
changes in anyway, more frquent, stronger,
longer and especially if bleeding
begins!!
I was more concerend that I had an
ultrasound done and they could not see
anything, (i am in china) but she said at
5 1/2 weeks that it's not uncomman not to
be able to see anything, everything so
small right now.

I had an ultrasound done when I was 4weeks
5days and they saw the gestational sac in
my uterus, we were just making sure the
cramping I was having wasn't meaning I had
ectopic pregnancy.
