Is It Normal to Cramp This Much?

Cramping is pretty normal, but still make sure you tell your doctor, for reassurance. Prenatal pills? I take them in the mprning after eating otherwise I will get sick also, if nothing is in my stomach. Hope this helps.
I am 24 and 7 months pregnant......

I was cramping alot from 5-8 weeks and it's scary just let your doctor know. If it isn't really bad cramps it's ok. Everything in there is changing and stretching and the baby is still implanting itself. If the cramps come with bleeding go to er right away. I felt cramping mostly on my left side too, right in my lower abdomen.

I have been taking my vitamins at night too b/c they make me feel sick (except for last night I fell asleep and had to take it when I woke up this morning, it's the first time I forgot)

I had period like cramping early in my pregnancy too and was told it's normal. But like you I was really worried about it. As long as it's not severe and theres no bleeding its normal. Good luck with your pregnancy.

My doctor told me I could subsitute 2 flinstone vitamins with iron instead of prenatals, it helped alot.

My midwife said cramping and sharp, stabbing pains on the left & right side of the uterus are perfectly normal. I guess the real concern would be uterine pain and bleeding and/or spotting.

I'm only 9 weeks along, but everything i've read online indicates that the uterus is normally about the size of your fist but by 7 or 8 weeks it's the size of a grapefruit. It doesn't get that big without some kind of growing pain! The ligaments that support the uterus aren't exactly used to that type of stretching - I think that's where the majority of the cramping comes from.

I am also having mild cramping, mine is in the center, my dr is a little concerned and told me to get to the hospital if it changes in anyway, more frquent, stronger, longer and especially if bleeding begins!!

I was more concerend that I had an ultrasound done and they could not see anything, (i am in china) but she said at 5 1/2 weeks that it's not uncomman not to be able to see anything, everything so small right now.

I had an ultrasound done when I was 4weeks 5days and they saw the gestational sac in my uterus, we were just making sure the cramping I was having wasn't meaning I had ectopic pregnancy.

Hope everything is ok with you all

Im 34 and was blessed with a boy 4 years ago. Since then I've had an etopic and about 9 miscarriages...believe it or not. I'm finally 5 wks, 6 days pregnant and my hcg levels seem to be doubling thus far. I have an ultra sound coming up in 2 weeks but I am experiencing a little cramping on and off but no bleeding or spotting. My shoulder hurts on and off but Im not sure if its from shoveling the snow 8 days ago, or am i having another etopic. I think I am worrying more than I should but I really dont remember how I felt when I had my etopic 3 years ago besides bleeding. So im thinking that maybe if im not bleeding then maybe everything is normal. Would like to hear what you think whether my light pain in the shoulder is only my figment of imagination or what? Thanks everyone
