Cramping At the Beginning of Pregnancy Posted: 01-11-04 19:15pm
I am 11 weeks pregnant and my best friend
just found out she was pregnant. I
believe she's 4 weeks or so. She is
having a lot of cramping. She was
supposed to be on her period this week,
but of course since she's pregnant, she's
not. She isn't bleeding and the sharp
pains come and go. Should she be
worried?

I used to have those too, its nothing to
worry about unless they are very
persistent or accompanied by bleeding

Cramping In Early Pregnancy Is Normal Posted: 01-12-04 16:38pm
Hi....I just wanted to let you know that
everything is most likely jus fine....I
hve givn birth to 2 healthy babies i'd say
for the the first 3 or 4 months of
pregnancy I experienced thesame kind of
crampig that youhave described...I was so
concerned that I called myob and he said
that it was perfectly normal...He said "of
course you are going to hae some cramping
as well as some pains,you have a baby
growing in you and your uterus is
expanding each day"so id say your just
fine...Hope this eases your worries
some....But ifyou are still concerned
please call your ob/gyn thats what they
are there for,,,,god bless and good luck

Hi!
I think your friend should see her doc.
She could have an infection that could
harm her baby. She might just be having
normal cramps, but sometimes it signals
infection and I think she should call her
doc and go in and be sure, just to be on
the safe side.
Good luck!

Lots of women have cramping. I don't know
why some people have to be so pessimistic
with the infection and all... Every woman
i've talked to (including my step-mother
who is a nurse) said cramping is normal.
Even occasional spotting can be nothing
(but you should have that checked out
anyway).
