are you pregnant?

i've heard that it's normal to cramp when you're pregnant, but if it becomes really bad and there is bleeding then you need to call your doctor.

hope i helped, keep us updated Smile

Hey

It's normal to have dull period like pains in early pregnancy, your body has stretching ligaments etc to make room for the baby. If the pains become sharp shooting pains or there is blood at any time you should contact your doctor.

Best of luck.

its normal to get some cramping in pregnancy, everything is moving around and stretching to accomidate the baby. i would only worry if you were bleeding or if the pain got hard to handle.

Totally normal. Don't worry unless you see blood or the pains get sharp or unbearable.

Please do, also if I remember correctly, trips to the doctor can be rather intimidating and rushed. Write down everything you might want to ask and take nothing for granted. Pregnancy aches and pains really suck (and are very scary), if anything feels off be sure to ask about it.
