Hi, im am about 4-5 weeks and feel very
crampy like I am about to menstrate. Is
this normal - should I call the doctor.

Hi bemuda,
if you are ever concerned about something
during your pregnancy, don't hesitate in
going to see your doctor about it or going
to the hospital. Yes cramps are normal
throughout pregnancy, but sometimes they
can be warning signs in early pregnancy
that something isn't right. The cramping
shouldn't become a problem unless it is
accompanied by back pain and bleeding. If
you have any signs of bleeding go straight
to the hospital. I had a miscarriage in
may of last year, it started off with mild
cramping, and 2 days later I was bleeding,
had a very achey back, and ended up in
hospital. So certainly don't dismiss
abdominal cramping as normal if it feels
wrong.
Good luck.

Hey, my name is heather and I am no 15
weeks and 5 days. I have had cramping
several times and with this being my first
I was very scared. My doctor gave me a
magnet and it is the midwifes. I am able
to call any time I have a question,
scared, or somethings wrong. Did your
doc give you any kind of number?
I had cramps real bad for 2 days and even
bleeding, then came this blood clot, they
took me straight in for an ultrasound and
everything was all right. It was my
placenta connecting to the uterus and
hooking up my baby fully to me. Don't
ever be scared to call the doc. Or go
straight in to the Dr. Cause the more you
worry, the more you stress that bby of
yours. Let us know how it goes and how
your doing!!!
