Q: Early Pregnancy: is Cramping a symptom of Miscarriage?
asked by: DoctorQuestion on October 17th, 2006
I am about five weeks pregnant now and my obgyn apointment is not till a couple more weeks, I am having some lower cramping almost in my groan area that comes for awhile then goes away (but I have not notice any bleeding). I have two beautiful children but about two months ago I had a miscarriage and wasnt able to go to the fallow up appointment. I am really scared of it happening again. I never had cramping with my other two children and I am not sure what to do, should I be worried?

If cramping is not followed by vaginal bleeding ,then there is nothing to be worried about. But you can never be sure what will happen in the future. If the reasons that provoked the last miscarriage are still present (or occur again), then there are big chances for another miscarriage. When a miscarriage starts, very little can be done. The most common reasons for early miscarriage are: genetic causes, radiation, mutagenic substances including medicines, viral infections during the pregnancy, inflammatory damaged uterus, hormonal etc.
