Cramping During Pregnancy

Each period is a little different, depending on which ovary is ovulating. The hormone release (prostoglandins) can cause cramping and so on. Start taking a pain reliever every few hours, taking a short walk, and use a heating pad periodically. Hopefully, after your period comes, all will be well. Otherwise, check in with your doctor.

on day 12 of your cycle these symptoms are probably because you are ovulating, not pregnant

I went to my first doctor appointment when I was seven weeks and 2days and asked her if cramping is normal and she said it is and its nothing to worry about.

Cramping without bleeding can happen on and off during pregnancy, in early pregnancy this may feel like strong period cramps, as long as it is not accompanied by bleeding it is usually nothing to worry about.

When you notice this, get off your feet for a short time while you drink a large glass of water, (being dehydrated can cause contractions) it should let up. If not call your doctor or midwife.

In later pregnancy this is most often Braxton-Hix contractions. As long as there is no bleeding and the cramps subside when you relax and rest, rather than getting more frequent and stronger no matter what you do, all perfectly normal.

At any time during pregnancy you start cramping, with spotting, bleeding or notice a clear or tinged fluid leaking from your vagina call your doctor or midwife, ASAP.

If you notice after activity you are cramping, get off of your feet and drink a large glass of water. If in an hour the cramping is no better or you are passing any fluid, call your doctor.

Yes it is possible ,the only time you need to stress is if the pain becomes unbearable and or there is bright red blood.Light spotting can be normal but bright red blood needs to be seen by a doctor.

Your uterus is stretching so that's whats causing the pain.

Yes. If they make you double over in pain or if you get a positive result and they are very painful and bleeding then you will want to go to the ER.

I'm going through the same thing at the mo and my EPAU has told me that as long as it's going up and regular scans are ok then things could be fine. Women have in the past had low HGC and had healthy babies.

Hope this helps

Your stomach growls when it is empty, the noise is caused from air pushing through your digestive system.

Ive heard once there is a heartbeat the chances of miscarraige go way down.

i think the stomach pains you have been getting are witch called (BRAXTON HICKS) false labor ... that just means it getting your body ready for real labor.. i think you shouldn't have any consern unless you are getting them 5 to 6 mins apart ... its best to also tell your doctor.. just to make sure

This could be a sign of both! If you took a home pregnancy test, these are not always accurate and/or maybe it was too early to detect the pregnancy hormone in your body. Wait about 2 weeks and take another test or make an appointment to have a professional pregnancy test!

Almost like your period is coming, but it usually is to one side or in the middle, But not much different than pms cramps.

A situation in which only some of the products in the uterus have been expelled is called an incomplete miscarriage. Pain and bleeding may continue and become severe.

increased vaginal discharge can be a sign of pregnancy or it can be a sign that your ovulating since vagianl discharges changes in tecture and amount throughout their menstrual cycle if you suspect that your pregnant wait until you miss your period and go test and take it from there hope everything works out for you Good Luck and God Bless!!!

The blood test are very very accurate. So you may of had a false hpt. If you only had sex the once you wont get a positive until about a week or more later. The blue dye hpt are the worse about giving false positives, but the blood test can even be used to date a pregnancy!

Yes, I drink ever morning. my OB said it is fine.

yes it's normal to have mild cramps during 12 weeks of pregnancy its called braxton hicks contraction.

It could be pregnancy but these are also symptoms of pre-menstrual tension PMT in UK and PMS in the USA

My midwife told me that minor cramping can be caused by the implantation process, as well as the hormones making the uterus ready to stretch and grow. However, you can get cramp at any time like during mestruation. As long as it's not overly painful or accompanied by bleeding, it is completely normal. It is caused by the uterus stretching to make space for the growing baby. But if you are cramping is on one side and it's very early (within the first month) you might be showing signs of an ectopic pregnancy. Please contact your doctor.

You could be. Being that far along, you should go see a physician. The rectal bleeding could possibly be a sign of hemorrhoids, either internal or external. It could also be a sign of something being wrong with your colon or digestive tract.

By this age, you should know when you are pregnant. I think you are pregant. Don't rely on a home pregnancy test. Go to a doctor and let them tell you for sure. Home pregnancy tests are 99% accurate but you may be in the 1%. You would not be 'showing' yet.

yes you can get pregnant and have a miscarriage while using depo because i have had one. Tow weeks after my first shot on depo i got pregnant and then a couple of weeks later i lost it which is why you should still use condoms and other things to prevent things like that from occuring...

Depends on the patient. Some women feel nothing at all, others are mildly nauseous to severely nauseous. Morning sickness can last anywhere from a few weeks to the duration of pregnancy. It can also be any time of the day ranging from half an hour or so to all day. The best way to determine if you are indeed pregnant is a blood test. OTC can tell you positive or negative but a blood test will give your doctor numbers indicating if your pregnancy is a strong one.
