Q: Cramps a Sign of Ectopic Pregnancy?

I heard that bleeding is a sign of ectopic pregnancy.

Are cramps part of that too, because if so it could be mistaken as a period. How would you know if you were having one of these pregnancies?

If you had an ectopic pregnancy and ruptured your tube, you wouldn't be alive for very long....you would bleed much more internally than externally I would think as well.

You most likely wouldn't have normal "cramps" associated with a period. The fallopian tubes are located above your uterus. The best thing to do is preventative measures: chedule an appointment with the doctor when you do find out that you are pregnant and they will take care of you (an ultra sound will detect this.)
