Is Cramping And Fatigue Normal Symptoms???
Posted: 09-20-03 18:20pm

I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnate with my fist child and have been cramping basically the entire time. I have only had one episode of bleeeing/spotting and went to the Dr. Immediately. She said every thing looked ok...But was unable to see much of anything on the transvaginal ultrasound she did...Yet my blood levels confirmed a pregnancy with a progesterone level of 17.3 and a hcg level of 1738...I am worried this cramping and fatigue could be a sign of a possible miscarriage....Please give me some advice about this. I am terrified. Thank you Confused Question

Cramping And Fatigue

I believe cramping and fatigue are both signs of a normal pregnancy, cramping is usually your body making way for the baby, and fatigue well I can tell you all about that. I don't think any pregnant woman gets out of that one. I can understand your concerns about the cramping, I had cramping last time I was pregnant and miscarried, but the thing is, it wasn't just cramping on it's own, it went hand in hand with severe back pain and severe period type pain aswell. Do you have bad back pain aswell ? Because that is the one question all the nurses at the hospital kept asking me the day before I miscarried. If not, you will probably have a great pregnancy with all the usual pains and fatigue. Good luck !!
