Question 1

early pregnancy or period symptoms? dizziness from back of head, enlarged breasts not too sore, reduced appetite, vivid dreams, mild constant cramps lower pelvic, and light spotting 3 days before af.

Accepted Answer

Test for preganancy: You can get an inexpensive urine strip test from your pharmacy that will tell you whether you may be pregnant.  Generally positive within 7-10 days of conception although you may have to test more than once.

Question 2

are cramps in early pregnancy normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As the uterus enlarges, cramping in early pregnancy is frequently due to spasm of ligaments which are attached to top of the uterus. It may occur when walking, getting up from sitting, and can be especially bad with sudden movement. The cramping from round ligaments is not associated with bleeding or pain that is severe and constant. As with any concerns, the patient should see her obstetrician.

Question 3

when should cramps in early pregnancy stop?

Accepted Answer

See a Provider: Cramps during early pregnancy should resolve. If they don't, you may need an ultrasound to make sure the pregnancy is in the uterus and that you do not have a pathological ovarian cyst. See a provider for help with this!

Question 4

is it possible not to have cramps in early pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Yes , some women do not have cramps in early pregnancy.

Question 5

are cramps in early pregnancy a sign of miscarriage or anything bad?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: Cramping in early pregnancy can be normal as the uterus begins to grow and expand. Cramping with bleeding can be a cause for concern. I'd recommend a exam and possible ultrasound if the cramping increases. Hydration is also a good idea.

Question 6

can i have cramps in early pregnancy that come and go and have a medium flow blood but no clots and still have a healthy pregnancy ?

Accepted Answer

Many things possible: That said, "medium flow" vaginal bleeding and "healthy pregnancy" usually don't go together. One can contact her Ob-Gyn doctor to describe her bleeding and see if any evaluation should be done. The doctor might repeat a pregnancy test to make sure it is still positive, especially if this is very early in the pregnancy, or if not yet a proven pregnancy.

Question 7

i'm having very light spotting & mild cramps in early pregnancy i'm 3 months postpartum & had no period since giving birth. could this be miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Possibly, two blood tests 48 hours apart can give the answer, but if it is, sadly, nothing can be done to avoid it.

Question 8

when will pregnancy cramps or symptoms go away in early pregnancy? i get lower back cramps every day, on & off. and its the only pregnancy sym. i get

Accepted Answer

2nd trimester, maybe: Once the uterus becomes an abdominal organ and leaves the pelvic cavity in the 2nd trimester the symptoms may abate. However, your abdomen will become distended at that point, and there may be other symptoms of pregnancy.

Question 9

what can i take for early pregnancy cramps?  i'm 2 to 4 weeks

Accepted Answer

I would: Try aleve (naproxen) or ibuprofin.  Early on these pose no risk.  I would consider going in, it may be a bladder infection.

Question 10

are moderate cramps normal for early pregnancy? i'm 4 weeks and i've been having stretching/pulling cramps. they get worse when i move around.

Accepted Answer

Could be normal: Stretching/pulling cramps are not uncommon in early pregnancy, and often relate to the stretching of the round ligaments--supporting structures for the uterus. But there are other possible causes as well.  You should ask your doctor at your next appointment, and if you have bleeding or severe cramps, see your dr right away.
