Q: Are Cramps Normal!?

I'm back with a new subject for my sister. She says that she having cramps. So far they aren't bad or anything, but could it be serious? Also is it possible for a girl to have a period while she's pregnant? One more question. When should she start feeling the baby move, because she's 3 months, and hasn't felt anything yet.

Hey my mom had her period 4 months into the pregnancy with me and she had pretty normal periods too with cramps and everything. With my mom's 3d pregnancy she didn't feel my brother move until she was about 4 months. The main thing your sister needs to do is go to the ob and get a the beta test (blood test) and see if her hcg level is still rising. That will determin anything good or bad. If she is stressing the baby might be just not moving because it is not happy. Even tho it is a fetus... It still has feelings... Tell her to get into a hot bath and relax and rub her tummy and see what happens. :d

I didn't think you were suposed to take hot baths when your pregnant, because it raises the baby's body temperature?

Cramps are absolutely normal. Most people don't feel any fetal movement until their 5th/6th month of pregnancy. If she is that concerned a trip to her doctor is in order! Best of luck!

Hello all,

thanks again for the replys! She's doing fine, we think it might be twins, or a really huge baby! Laughing if it is twins the doctor says that they must be lined up exactly so we can't see them. Hoping for a girl! Smile we could name her after me! Wink
