Is cramping during early pregnancy normal?

Question

I am 27 years old and trying to conceive our second child. We are using the ovulation kits to help us conceive. According to the test I ovulated on Sunday, August 27. Starting on Thurday, August 31 I started having mild cramps that come and go during the day. Are these cramps normal this early in pregnancy (if I am pregnant) or is it a sign of menstration? Thanks to all you respond.

yeah, it's implantation combined with the expanding of your ut. seriously, i know you're just a few days along, but your ut makes IMMEDIATE changes......there's no such thing as being pregnant a little bit! your body gets that hormone news and boom, it goes into action! even if you show just a tiny blood, it could still be from the implantation so don't assume it's a period right away. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

it could be a sign of menstration, however if you did catch the egg then it could be implantation... that can most definatly cause cramps. GOOD LUCK

i thought my period was "about to come" both times i was pregnant, the first time i was more concerned because it was new to me, my doc said it was normal to cramp because the body was stretching

Cramping in early pregnancy is totally normal. It could mean a couple of things. Either you are not pregnant and are gearing up for your regular menstrual cycle or you have a fertilized egg that is attempting to attach itself to your uterin wall. Either way the cramping is probably normal. If it persists or becomes increasingly painful you may want to make an appointment with your OB/GYN to rule out eptopic pregnancy, which causes painful cramping as well.

Answer 12

I have never been pregnant so i dont know if cramping is normal during early pregnancy. If you know you are pregnant, you should be mindful of ectopic pregnancies, if the cramping continues and gets worse, ask your doctor to check for an ectopic (aka tubal) pregnancy. good luck, i hope you conceived a healty baby! :-)

Answer 13

to be safe seek medical attention,hopefully all is well but i would get it checked by a professional

Sometimes, yes. I had this happen with 2 of my 3 kids. My OB says it is just your body changing shape and it should go away in time. Just take it easy and if you satr really cramping or seeing blood call your doctor at once. Otherwise, I would wait until your next appt and talk to your doctor about it. Personally, I wouldn't worry at this point.

Answer 15

Cramping could be your period coming or it could be the egg implanting in the uterus. If it is mild and not constan, I wouldn't worry about it! Good Luck.

Answer 16

IT COULD BE A YOU ARE GETTING YOUR PERIOD OR B YOU ARE PREGNANT I WOULD GO TO YOUR DOCTOR

Answer 17

Could be signs of early pregnancy, of the egg attatching to the wall of the uterus, time will tell good luck.
