Q: Cramps - Pregnancy symptoms
asked by: HayasakaErika on March 11th, 2009

Okay, so I am going to be taking a test (it will be FMU so you do not need to ask lol) in just a bit but I wanted to know if cramping was even a symptom. I have been getting on and off again cramps...they feel somewhere between period cramps and needing to make a movement. I keep running to the bathroom just sure my period has shown up and NOTHING. I am now 15 days late. Is that normal in a pregnancy or is this just some long drawn out way for my period to show up? I usually get cramps right before my period and during it. Any ideas?

Yes, it is normal in pregnancy. They are caused by the ligaments stretching as the uterus grows. But, please visit a doctor if
the cramps are accompanied by tenderness low down in your belly or there is heavy bleeding like a day's heavy period or you have seen some spotting either continuously or on-off, either recently or a few days before the cramps started or if the pain is severe and lasts for more than 24 hours or is more severe when you strain on the toilet or when you move about or there is a sharp pain particularly on one side. Good Luck to you!!

I have been having sharp pains on the left side of my abdomen...I figured they were unrelated or the fact that I am SUPER gassy. What do you think?

If you are 15 days late, a pregnancy test would be positive if you took it at 5pm. No need to wait for FMU, go get a test and take it.

I took the test and it was negative again. Thank goodness! Now if my period would just stop being such a ***** already I would feel 100% better. Smile
