"Killer Cramps" are NOT normal. You might have endometriosis. Check out the Endometriosis Association at EndometriosisAssn.org or Mary Lou Ballweg's book, Endometriosis: The Complete Reference for Taking Charge of Your Health for further information. Good luck!

Believe it or not, your uterus is contracting in order to release the month's efforts for preparing your for a pregnancy. The contracting is what the cramps are.

Two days late is nothing and I doubt that you are pregnant. What you describe is PMS and the cramps often come before a period as well as during a period. Stay off of sugars, caffeine, and take B6 to help yourself. When the cramps start using a heating pad to help yourself. When you are a month late for a period take a test.

Although menstrual cramps are common, they are not a normal part of healthy menstruation - as such there is nothing to say that you will get cramps at all,and if you do experience cramps know that they are preventable.

Not necissarily. Menstrual cramps are common, with around 80% of women experiencing menstrual cramps at some point in their lives, however menstrual cramps are not a normal part of healthy menstruation so not everyone gets them (and if you do there are ways to prevent them). Menstrual cramps can be more common in your pre-teens and teens due to hormonal imbalance, so you may get menstrual cramps during your first period...but you may not.
